Default Most power my talon has seen

I took my talon for a test drive with my buddy today. Im a responsible driver but he got me cockey and we went out on this 55mph 2mile straight away, i did a a onces back and forth to check for cops. I pulled over and brought my rpms up to 3,000 and launched it, shifted at 7,000 and hit 60mph in 2nd gear at 6,200. I guess i spun the tires cause we went back and there were 4 short strips of black, not really heavy so i obviously did not light them up. It was at 17psi and felt like extremely powerful. He was amazed cause for the past 2 weeks he hasnt been in my car, just his moms civic.lol

17 psi isnt too bad to be running. I would run at 15psi just to be safe and not break the t25 too quick. And im guessing then your car is the FWD. On any launch with a FWD i would expect to spin some tire at least, so only alittle is good. Its always fun taking people for drives that arnt used to fast cars
