Actually CP-E has a nice piggy back tuner and they actually are about to releasea very much needed upgraded fuel pump...there will be some pretty quick speed6's on the road once all of the parts start coming together...but it'll be quite a while before one gets in the 11's though

Rob, welcome to the pack.


As a side note, my cousin just bought a STi, 04 I think he said---supposed to bring it to the track next time we go(next spring). He got that bright blue color---nice ride.

I looked int o the CP-E piggyback but no one has been able to gain control of the throttle plate that causes the speed 6 to fall on its face at 6krpm. I was hoping Cobb wouldve developed the accses port for the speed by know but I dont see it happening for a while if ever. The car has alot of potential but your right they wont see 11's for a long time.

Ah yeah, I'm SCT tuned and have the entire JBA exhaust from LT header to axle back. Sounds really mean. The only thing that is bothering me now is the suspension. It'sdesigned for old lady's, seriously...
Thats gotta sound awesome. I may be wrong but Im starting to think you dont like the stock suspension.

Yea, sorry about killing this post but it got REALLY interesting. Can't say the same about the rest of this forum . You got it right, the 4.6 mod motor is KILLER. The stock stang suspension SUCKSSSSSSS! That's why that ahole european on Top Gear hates our cars!!!

Beautiful motor, horrible suspension. But it suits all the housewives that but this car for it's "power" just fine....

Ive got one more question. What does a bone stock GT put down on the dyno you were tuned on? Im trying to get an idea of how much power was gained with theLT header setup. Thanks.

The power figs in my signature were done after all the mods listed. That was with 2k miles on the car. The initial dyno was 262rwhp so a 20rwhp change. This was with a very "conservative" tune on the car due to the low mileage. They were confident they could wring another 20-30rwhp out of it with a new tune. Since then, I've retuned it with my SCT and another tune. I'm probably at 300+rwhp but I'll only list my last "dyno" tune since that is reliable. Of course, motion wants me to come back for a "better" tune but I'm happy for now. The stock suspension is the only thing that I hate at the moment.

Nice how much hp is your sti and what do you got done to it? After im done paying my car off in like a year im going to look into getting a sti for my everday car there nice and quick. Since i live in chicago the winters are pretty bad and a awd car thats fast would be awsome.

On the Dyno I was tuned on mySTi put down 360whp and 350wtq at 21psi with alcohol injection, this is a very conservative tune for my setup. A stock STi puts down 210whp. This is alow reading dyno. Im running an Ultimate Racing gt30r rotated turbo kit with all the supporting mods. Its going to be back on the dyno after Christmas, I should be able to make 420whp with an aggressive tune on this dyno.Subarus are great bad weather cars, In Connecticut where I grew upSuabrus were very popular due to the bad weather in winter. Its probably worse in Chicago. Subarus arent pretty but they will take a beating, especialy the STi.
