ok, so my buddy has an STi, no big deal, catless, 3" turboback, you know, the whole basic setup...

well he just got his 55lbs/min compressor in (sr55) took me for a ride

the first ECU setting he had it on when i got in the car was actually his DD setting for 11lbs of constant boost (about 300 horse with a nice smooth curve) so he floors it, i'm like thats nice... well little did i know he had 2 extra maps in store

he nonchlantly swtiched to the more powerful map... needless to say i nearly shit my pants and i have been left wanting a nice 390 AWHP for myself...

 

STi's are badass. My friend's shop did an FPGreen turbo, FMIC conversion, Eutek, bigger injectors, clutch, flywheel, and a bunch of other shit to the shop STi. Dyno'd at 422WHP, I ripped it out of the parking lot in 3rd gear and went sideways. :love:

 

Story sounds 100% made up. Holla :hay:

 

no i have a feeling i know who this is... tom?

 

Very fast cars, but they tend to die out in 4th gear.

 

yeah... sry... no.

 

Uh, what?

The shop is Wildcards Performance in Manchester, my buddy is Brian. There is no Tom h:

 

there was a guy who did tuning at XX that made in the 440s with a setup like that (100 octane)

 

Oh, I wouldn't know. In New Hampshire? Wildcards is really into the Subaru fiasco, so they may have done it if it was in the region.

I tried finding pictures of the STi but they're not on the site. But yeah, they've been building/racing Subaru's forever.

This was their 2002 WRX circuit car before they had the STi. Doesn't make gobs of power, but the 2.0 is a POS compared to the 2.5. Plus it was made more for the twisties.

 

Take the same hp/weight in a rwd or fwd car, and it will get raped from a roll and in the higher gears. It's just the physics of awd...more drivetrain loss.
