first kills w/4.10s/race tune & cut outs...
2 03 WRXs, both modded.
Went from a 40 roll on both runs,they both jumped about half a car, then I pulled and stayed even til about 120 then I pulled a good 2 cars on both of them. They wanted to go from a DIG but I declined because of damned winter tires. lol.
I think with the 4.10s I might have been able to even out launch them. I have raced a few REXs and STIs and the best they got me off the line was about 2 1/2 cars then I'd reel them in... the WRXs at least, the STIs keep about either half a car or a car on me. That was with an intake/tune only.
I needs me a danged torque converter now! I might just pick up one of them TCIs street fighters for now.. bamachips is only selling them for $450.. not bad at all.

OP you def. have a hp advantage against both the WRX and the STI. I'd say you made a good decision in avoiding trying to launch hard on 4.10s and street tires. The only reason you lost to those STIs was their launch advantage. A torque converter and a set of nitto DRs and you're in business.

They were actually pretty quick for being 03s, but after 110, they were simply toast.
From a DIG though, I could tell they would be real nasty... I bet they think I wussed out for not wanting to go from a dead stop.

... so much for that idea. Launching with these bad boys turned out to be alot harder then I thought.
Power braking then flooring it proved to be a waste of rubber.
Launching at idle, while using my left foot for the brake, then hitting tapping the gas til I get a nice take off seems to do the trick, though honestly.. it's NOTHING like how I thought it would be and nothing like this damn video!

Honestly, I think the 3.31s with a high stall converter would be alot better then it is now..
(O_o)>?
I might try a toned down tune...

The 4.10s are nice but I seriously need some new rubber. It simply SHREDS the ones I have now from a dead stop.
Nice bullitt BTW...
I should have gotten one. I like how subtle it is..
