For christmas i found out the 3sgte is officially a beast!, tangled @$$ with an sti Options

[easternpiro1]

hello kiddies, hope you had a merry christmas I went to fayetteville nc for the weekend and met a couple of guys out there at the local saturday nite spot. we decide to roll out to the strip (dont assume this was on the street) and one of the guys in a gti keeps egging me to take on the sti, i do it, and to my surprise, from 30mph im DEAD EVEN with him, with his boost to 17psi... he pulled on me after a while (6th gear?) i knew my car was quick but its kinda like that big kid in elementary school that dosent realize he's so strong

being that charlotte is a haven for those stining honda hatches, i never had any legit competition
where should i go from here?

1. leave the engine/turbo alone look for more ways to put available power to the ground

2. work suspension (already thinking about doing this anyway)

3. mess with the motor some more?

any suggestions?

Well - i will be first to say - but Guy in STi cant drive or the STi in US sucks. IMHO 3SGTE from caldina or 3gen running stock boost does not have a chance over the STi.

By the way - what year STi was?

doggy, the stock sti's around here put out about 250hp to the wheels. most 3s swaps dyno at around 220-250 with basic mods. so from a roll, we should be dead even or faster then an sti.
