Just wanted to share this.. Not many people really know what these cars are cabable of. This is a local guy's 91 Eagle Talon AWD.
Just dynoed it, and here is what he had to say:
"Well I decided to take the car to the dyno one last time with the stock block in it. I went back to F1 Dyno, thanks again to Dave M, Dave and Adam, they are a great bunch of guys. The plan was to dyno at the same boost level that I ran the car at all of last year ( 32 psi ). Unfortunately, after two pulls we had to shut it down. F1 is located in an Industrial Park and their next door neighbor has a couple of offices. The guy came over and complained about the smoke and noise. They don't usually dyno in the middle of the day, nor the winter. So he was not happy. Here is the best pull :
585 AWD HP
450 Ft. Lbs. Torque
This was at 32 psi according to the AEM log. I was going to turn up the boost and make one more run, shooting for 600. But that is when they told me I had to shut it down due to the neighbor complaining. I am finally retiring this motor, so this was the last time out. I did not want to go nuts and blow it up, due to possible damage to other parts. Now it's time for the race motor and some serious boost.
This is the stock, original shortblock. I removed the balance shafts a few years ago, other then that, all original. It has 98k miles and at least 600 drag runs over the years."
585hp and 32psi on the stock block.. Only internal difference is cams!!
His previous best (with only 560hp) was 10.60 @ 133.35

to go off. I have a feeling it is a worked on stock block with block filler and such and everything else is forged. I'll even bet the head gasket setup is o-ringed. That stock headgasket is not going to hold 32 psi even with good fuel. He has definately beat the odds.
As you can tell, Mitsubishi is on my ^&*( list.
