Tell us after you race

[02sunsetorangeZ]

all depends on the driver i raced one that out to 345 awtq and 390 or so awhp and from 30 to 110 he was at my rear bumper

[Mike0202]

well he "should" win right?

[Knight]

If ws6 is a good driver - ws6. Otherwise, with info given, even race.

[02sunsetorangeZ]

i think you should win if its from higher speeds. gotta think its in the gearing too. It will prolly be close and i mean close. If yall he doesnt break boost or isnt in boost or anything you should get the hit and i wouldnt think he could make up for that too quick.

[Mike0202]

ya i dont know too much about sti's i know that the new turbo cost him 8500. its a bullseye or something ill have to double check.

Drivers race

[02sunsetorangeZ]

yea should be good. race him, get it on video and post ls1

[c5z28]

He's only making 350 with a bigger turbo?
Drivers race if it's from a roll, anything that involves speeds where you can spin tires is going to him considering the power is about equal at the wheels.

what year sti? if your ws6 cant get a good launch, you will get beat.

[jetaws6]

Id give the edge to the sti. Wheel spin when you shift is going to come into play and if you go from a roll and his turbo is already spooled up he might get you. Its gonna be close

[big hammer]

get some e\t streets and you will likely win. if you can keep up to 60 mph those car start to fall off pretty quickly after that.

Thats only because most are only pushing 240-270whp stock or with some bolt ons, stock turbos also fall on there face at 5500ishrpms. And they launch hard but dont have the power to keep up once the f-body has traction. This race however is a 3400-3500lbs car with roughly 340-350whp vs a 3300-3400lbs car with 350whp, it will be close depending on drivers. He could bog and or you could bog, he could light em up and so could you.

Maybe all his parts cost 8500 but the turbo alone did not, or he got ripped off. You can buy good turbos that with the right fuel system can make 700whp on that engine and pay under 8500 for the turbo alone.

All parts plus labor.

Its a 2004 STI. My car is putting down roughly the same numbers but his is probably a bit lighter. So I guess my best bet it from a roll?

Probably, weight matters less and traction is easier to come by.

[02sunsetorangeZ]

hmmm i bet you should edge him. When i raced that sti we went from a 30 and were dead even till i hit 2nd then that only gaine me half a car, and he also brake boosted me. If you can drive pretty good and you go from a speed like that im with you. If you go from a stop you obviously most likely will lose

[hardcoreBro]

from a dig or what bro?

[WICKEDLS1]

there is a guy up here at my dealership with a '05 sti thats pushin 455 to the wheels and he has got methanol injection, bigger turbo, full 3in exhaust with the down pipe to match, larger injectors, and a full custom hand tune. and he is only at 455 so????

from a dig if he is spooling he will get you but from about a 40 roll would be a really close one depending on the drivers just my .02 cents
