Thanks for all the info, i'm more confused then before. For every plus there is a minus. I need dependability. Mercedes has been really happy with the coverage we have gotten for them. They want to be more involved and want us to do some other things. I have had a lot of down time this past year, (not for any one reason) but that was a something brought up in our meeting. I have to figure out the best way for me to go. I appreciate all the feedback.

You guys need to bring that Talon out to some of the large poker runs and hook up with some of the big guns. I dont think 1400 hp should be breaking drives,maybe shorting the life.
Many 40-50's running turbines with 1800 hp with no problems.Might want to look at a different drive builder. Just my 2

I don't know Tom E. Turbo's can make insane hp, but never, ever can it match the throttle response and low end torque. Simply can't. You can use all the tricks you want, all the different versions, which again will make insane hp, but cannot fill the cylinder as fast as a efficient positive displacement sc. I've been part of some big projects and I've seen them very close, but they're not the same. Certainly not the lag of the old days if done right, but its still dependent on the airflow through the exhaust.

I'm 1 person who never knocks turbos. They make great power and are great products, just anything, there's good and bad setups, but when done right, they're hard to compete with.

Really ?? Care to compare dyno sheets from 1,500 to 3000 Rpm's ?? Can race from complete stop or 35 mph if your worried about your drive. Guess I need to correct yestedays post too,..............Boost comes on a 1,300 rpm's

So if your throttling the waves less than 1,300 rpm's I guess you do have a problem. :drink: Like I said Tom has it figured out and well aware most other's don't. There is no Lag, ZERO, NONE.


So care to compare Dyno sheet's from 1,500 to 3,000 ?
