STi: bone stock 99 T/A: no cats (stright pipes), filter, chip drag race. who wins? Genopsyde 05-15-2007, 06:49 PM i'm with the T/A, what gear ratio? philly rs 05-15-2007, 07:40 PM damn...i dunno..maybe a driver race??? he has awd...drag race = good hooking from a dig. it could go either way i bet skibum1111 05-15-2007, 09:41 PM Going to be a driver's race. Those sti's are awfully quick off the line and they hook up really good, but the awd sucks at high speeds. Good launch with the t/a and no missed shifts, t/a should take it. Blackcrow64 05-16-2007, 01:43 AM Yay for bench racing!... :icon16: 97sle 05-16-2007, 10:31 AM Well from stats stock vs stock, the Trans Am in a 1/4 is suppose to run 13.4 and the STI runs 13.2. With your mods you probably a little faster than him. He well be out in front at first due to awd. But get off the line good and don't mess up shifts and you'll pull him down with no problem. Also with turbo run the car on a hot day, turbo's run better in cold so, hot days are always best to run a turbo. philly rs 05-16-2007, 01:15 PM are u sure he hasnt done anything to it yet?? Orion2247 05-17-2007, 08:51 PM yeah it doesnt even have 1000 miles on it yet. My car's an automatic, so it's kind of hard to misshift... But keep in mind my car has just over 108000 miles on it now. Mr. Luos 05-17-2007, 10:14 PM Explain the chip.... philly rs 05-18-2007, 11:46 AM hell that just means your car is well broken in!!! mines has over 120,000 on it now and im still runnin it! ZL1power69 05-18-2007, 01:08 PM if he races you now he'll probably blow the engine since its not broken in yet (seen it happen already on another sti). most likely he'll get a good jump on you but you'll run him down. Orion2247 05-18-2007, 07:11 PM About the chip... I'm not really sure. I'm pretty sure it has a chip or at least a reprogram. The cats were removed when I bought it, so isnt some some sort of computer work necessary to ignore the O2 sensors and get rid of the check engine light? My car also seems to shift harder, faster, and closer to the redline than other T/A's (still has a rev/top speed limiter) Mr. Luos 05-18-2007, 08:16 PM Okay. It was reprogrammed via HPTuners, EFILive, or LS1Edit. No chip for the LS1 cars. The rear O2 codes are most likely turned off. Front O2's still work. They are actually quite important. Computer uses them and other sensors to determine how much fuel to give the motor. Savage Messiah 05-19-2007, 02:48 AM or you actually somehow have working o2 sims doodad 05-19-2007, 08:21 AM I say STI got this unfortunately. They leave the line good and they pull pretty good.
