1997 Talon Build Thread GOAL 1000WHP

So I'm doing another round of updates and mods to my car so I thought I would share them with everybody. Some of the mods well be safety, and some well be electronic and performance oriented. Also after cruising with the car down in Lethbridge I'm hoping to make the car faster but more street able this year so I can enjoy it on the street even more. Enjoy.

Some detaling I was doing and a new TIG'd and coated 4" down pipe, and custom ram air setup.

I've owned several DSMs, including a fairly clean 2g but my hat is off to you. That is one clean engine bay. I look forward to seeing some more pictures.

I was in the DSM game for about a decade, and that is one serious machine! Good luck with the build!

First new EMS system going into the car well be another AEM this time a Ver 2 box using the new AEMTUNER software. I figured since I just complete my AEM certification training that I might as well start there, I well be building a base map from scratch as well as converting the car from wasted spark to sequential spark, as well as running sequential fuel injection with 8 x 1600cc injectors and on E85. :thumbsup:

So this morning started off like any other for me and then I got an unexpected call? Craig over at Spark Tech ignitions called me. I had just ordered up a system from him so I thought he phoned to give me a tracking number or something. Well to my surprise Craig has graciously offered become a sponsor for my car. I'm super excited to see what his ignition system well help me accomplish considering the amount of E85 the car is ingesting. Well post up some pics once everything arrives.

Thanks for the props...looking forward to your feedback as you get used to the new Ignition system. We like to hear directly from real racers worldwide. This is why our systems have evolved for the better over time.
