to be honest, i pull sti's all the time. if were at a roll, from second they will be in 4th before i get into 3rd. but normally its either i pull them by a lil bit, or we are nose to nose. and i have gotten it with a few around town. they are a very common car here.
but i dont think your friend has 400 whp. the ones i raced are not stock by any means, but def not around 400 whp.

I believe you msonia.. I put lengths on bolt on STI's, but then again I have a lil more hp than you, but even so.. I still believe you :P

To the OP... That car is definately not a 400awhp car otherwise in every gear you start in.. You're going to get absolutely destroyed.. Fo Sho!

.....Does your brother have a Turbo upgrade... He is well OVER 400AWHP and your sitting at barely over 300whp WITH the 50 shot.. For some reason I'd think 100whp would pull a lil more than a car.. Even with all their drivetrain loss..

Yay, a WRX guy to confirm the mod list :P

2.6 on a 75 shot.. You're absolutely ******* insane.. I'm running a 2.6 Ported Setup, but I only had a 50 shot and I thought I was nuts :P Still.. Even with that setup you'd be a little over 300whp like I said, maybe 320-330whp at the most .. Still need another 50 whp to even keep up IMO.. But hell, I dunno, I'm not gonna call Bull **** on you bro lol

Quarter mile times are the only real guage of his performance, it will be more than a car.

If they are quoting numbers other than stock manufacturer rating they better be official dyno numbers, otherwise they are ricer toolbags. And dyno numbers are always WHP and there is no drivetrain loss to be calculated after the fact.

simply, if he says his last dyno was 400hp, then it's 400awhp........as in, to the wheels.

I was putting it in a general statement. The OP simply said 400 hp in his original post and the other guy said over 400 hp.. I used whp and drivetrain loss in the same sentence, I apologize :P

yeah, lots of numbers being thrown out in this thread and probably none of them actually dyno'd

gonna be some sad people come dyno day. which is why the only thing I'm worried about is how much I gain over my last dyno (on the same dyno) and how much time I take off at the track.

Stage 3 came with the 50 shot... Or did it just come with a Tune to be able to run a 50 shot safely.. If so.. Were you spraying (If you have it)?

I didn't know that you were supposed to wait a few seconds after the 3rd honk :P Otherwise I am the worst 3 honk racer ever lmao.. Soon as that 3rd honk even makes a slight noise, I'm WOT.
