VS my friends STI
My friend has an STI, Just picked up a new short block from PTG and when he's finished they will tune it, it will be around 475-485 to the wheels. he wants to run me when it's done.
I have a 2013: Bama 93 octane tune Drive by wire JBM eliminator Super Cobra jet intake Super Cobra jet throttle body Ford racing intake BBK shorty's, True Xpipe and Roush axel back For racing .410's The suspension work also is great. you can shift at almost 8,000 and it barely barks the tires just squats and goes. I know his car will REALLY run when he gets it back, but are we going to be close? If you had my car what would you do next? I wanted to keep it N/A but if there isn't a lot more I can get I may have too change that plan. |
He should drag you. Supercharge your car and outrun just about everything on the street.
|
I was kind of thinking that if he spools it on the line with the AWD he would take me. Any chance of getting the advantage staying N/A, but if I was to supercharge what would the best route be.
|
It all comes down to power/weight.....then AWD and it sounds like you are pretty hosed. Like BB says, put a blower on that puppy.
|
AWD really sucks when you don't have it and the car in the other lane does lol.
Best of luck, but this race will be over within the first couple feet. There's just nothing you can do about it. Unless you want to play dirty............ |
First and foremost - Keep it on a track please! STI's are deceiving fast and for what it's sounding like he's putting in there it's not looking good. Hey, I'm just trying to be realistic here! I'll cut you a dealer on a supercharger and we'll all go to ATCO or Maple and see who comes out on top!

Track only for sure.
I am up for suggestions on superchargers. If I throw say another 8K or so into that how much power gains should I expect? |

You can get away with either blower and push that motor pretty far, enough to beat that STI. But as it sits, you're done brother. Nothing you can do NA with that one. Centri blower will be a little easier to install, easier to keep the charge cool..and cheaper.. Totally up to you though, can't go wrong with a roots or centri.
