10.40@141 on stock short block ( Talon )

[MikeRizz]

Went up to the track rental today, with one goal in mind, learn to NLTS! My first couple of runs the plan was to simply start with the 2-3, as that seemed easy enough. It was, except my foot was still resting on the clutch pedal, which will activate the NLTS rev limit ( 6750 ), which resulted in a couple of low 11's @130 ish. I finally got a 2-3 down and the car went 10.7@129, but I shifted WAY to early on the 3-4.

On my next pass I made my mind up, I WOULD do the entire run with my right foot down. Well, I did it, finally, and wow the car felt much better. It ran a 10.50@136. Back in the pits I confirmed looking at the log and I did keep my foot down, problem was I shifted way to early on almost all shifts. It was getting late but I had time for one more run, and wanted to make sure I could repeat the NLTS. Next pass I was able to do it again and ran :

60' - 1.577
1/8 - 6.77 <<< new best
MPH - 109.40 <<< new best
1/4 - 10.40 <<< new best ( barely )
MPH - 141.13 <<< new best by a bunch!

I am thrilled with my results, just like everyone has been saying, the NLTS is huge on a larger turbo, and it feels natural ( finally ) to do. Cool I can't wait to go back and run again. I still need to work on shift points and faster shifting, but I believe I have this NLTS down!

In case any one is wondering, this is still the stock, original short block. As in, original pistons, rods, and even bearings. I believe this now to be the stock internal 4G63 MPH record. Car weight ( with driver )was 2992. I am hoping to go back next week with some better air and lower the E.T.

Mike, could you detail how you set it up in your car? I'm trying to set up a 1G to NLTS as well.

I am using the AEM for the launch on the lower clutch switch. For the NLTS I am using the MSD on the upper/cruise switch.
Launch RPM was set at 6500 and the NLTS was set at 6750.

I see, you using the AEM for launch, since AEM only has 2 rev limiters you had to go with the MSD and set that up for NLTS.

The only way I could see the AEM doing NLTS and launch is if they used the same RPM.

Just curious what your shifting at? And in your shep stage 4 are you using the evo 3 gears? Thanks.

The target shift point is 9000, although I have logged as high as 9600 on the 1-2 shift.   The Stage IV :" This upgrade replaces all of the 1-4 internals and shafts and has a custom ratio 3-4 to keep the rpms up between shifts and through the traps. " ( Shep's website ).
