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?

i love u guys... ok so what i plan to do next is lower the car (tein s like most of the people here) i DEFINATELY want to get the size lagos has. 245 45 17. for the strip (if i can ever get out there) im thinking i want to get some Bull$#!T 14" steelies and some tires that are like 30 bucks.

im still trying to find out more about what goes from gen2&3 onto a gen4 its hard searching though

btw... for those with the 3s swap what was the FIRST thing you did after you put in the motor to enhance performance? (besides dyno)
