Id wait til you get a 12psi tune if your going to race him off the lights.It might be a different story if u can drive on a rolling run. Hopefully its all done on a racetrack or private property Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mid 12 will aslo take a very good pedal indeed IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosting it up to 14psi makes very little difference. I only gained 2mph doing the on my forester (same engine, similar weight). However, I very much doubt you could run a 14sec pass on the street (unprepped road) and you will get own off the lights. Which means racing to the speed limit (100km) you will struggle. On the highway, it would be close, maybe even go to you. And this is assuming wrx boy can drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With just a boost tap I imagine, so it's no quicker than stock.You should beat him over the quarter mile given equal driving ability. And murder him 'roll on'.If he's got a 14psi tune, he may have you over the quarter, but you'll still have him on a roll.If he goes exhaust, turbo, I/C, tune, he will murder you eveywhere unless you have over 330+rwkw. 330+rwkw you'll beat him on the motorway. But he'll still beat you everywhere else. Edited 12/02/10 07:18 AM by ExAreSix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once rolling though, the weight of the T isnt such a big factor, plus we all know how hard it is to launch a manual T..Get the 12psi tune in, that's what I'd do...

Just give it a go, that's a sure way to find out. To be so concerned you've either talked your car up too much, or you wrx is boy is your arch enemy. I xr6t beats a wrx stock, so why wouldnt a boosted and tuned xr6t beat a stock wrx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
