Well I thought I'd post up some results. I just have the print out so I'll scan it later. I was tuned at a local shop call Epic motorsports by the local guru Robbie. The pertinent mods are perrin short ram intake, STi TMIC, Invidia catless downpipe, and 3 inch megan stealth CBE. She was tuned at 18 PSI. It ran a tic above 11.1 all the way to 6300rpms. Tuned on a mustang dyno I made 241.6 whp and 299 lbs tq uncorrected and 253.8 whp and 314.3 lbs tq WCF. I actually ran it at the local track last week w/o the tune and ran a best of 13.91 at 95.8 mph. I wasn't pleased so I went to get the tune. Car will remain the way it is for the next year or so. So this was the last mod for a bit. I might take it to the track tomorrow but most likely in 2 weeks. Hoping for a mid 13.

A good launch will make all the difference on your achieving a mid-13 1/4.
Work on your reaction time and your feathering of the clutch.
Do NOT just rev to 5k and side step the clutch, w/ 300+ lb/ft you will snap a gear.

By the way, very VERY good numbers on the protune (especially with the td04).
Now we need to find you a vf series turbo to bolt on.

sweet! congrats. the doc is right. unless you got a 6 spd or some straight cuts.

On the previous runs I I eased the clutch out around 3k rpm. I ran consistent 1.9 60 fts. I never bogged or burned the clutch. I was pleased but it seemed like the last half of the track I accelerated like crap.

Congrats! Very nice numbers and sounds like it's nice and safe as well!

1.9 60s a re decent. What were your trap speeds?
If your consistently hitting around 100-103 MPH, then your speed is about as good as a TD04 is going to get you.

My best trap was 96.5 mph on a 14.02 pass. The track here in Fayettenam sucks but I really thought the car should be faster.

Those numbers were before the protune, correct? If so, that's pretty close to what I'd expect with a normal driver and a regular track.

I've routinely seen STis with similar mods only pull a low 13 sec 1/4 at MIR in MD.

Those are great numbers mang

Runs were before the protune. I made 8 passes over 5 hours and ran 13.91-14.08 on all passes. Shifts are consistent but the fine tuning the launch. I also ran her as I pulled up. No icing the intercooler or upping tire pressure.

Anyone have any tips of the trade?????

here's a tip: if you wanna drag race get a Mustang.

I live in Fayetteville, NC. There are no other options......

I bet if you trade those roof rail out for some saabaru deletes you can get into the 12's...

<MOVED TO RIGHT THREAD>

I don't drag my daily driver. I want it to last me a while and drag racing is terrible on your ride. Hard on the engine, suspension, tires, brakes and the worst on the tranny/clutch.

Not looking to pick up drag racing as a hobby. Im trying to test the results of my tune. When I run her in a few weeks that will be it. Just interested to see what gains I may have gotten from the tune. But other than the launch I wouldn't necessarily say that its harder on the car than the street. I do enjoy the car for the reason I bought it. Especially in school zones.

Goob I'd still like to swap roof rails. If you were ever in NC we could do it.

Went to the track a month or so ago. Made one pass and got a 13.4 at 101. So she is retired for now. Loving the cooler weather. Oh and for those not in the know........ my wife is 40 weeks pregnant.........we are having a girl as soon as she goes into labor

Congrats man!!!

Congrats man, that's awesome news! (and the 13.4 isn't too shabby either

Congrats on the run and the babeh!!

congrats dude!

Congrats on the time and the little bundle!

congrats!

Go wife, go.

I hope labor is as fast as your car.

Congrats man, that's awesome news! (and the new baby isn't too shabby either)

Thanks guys. I hope her labor goes quickly too. I'm just waiting for her to start.
