Bwaaaa... Unless you have more track time than anyone on here, you flat do not know the limits of both an STi and an EVO IX.

 

im not going to respond to all of that that long *** post of speculation. Im not hating, im really not.

Ed and I have already discussed that there could be other factors. Since there is no launch, it most cases it should be a simple numbers game. That, and evos usually do better from a roll since they have larger turbos and dont choke as much up top. Methinks your car was obviously running better at the time. Hp/weight ratios dont lie, since you are saying you are both good drivers

I had my STi dyno'd, the evo is still stock, I'll be dynoing it stock at EIP soon, then getting speed element tuned. But since when does putting your car on a dyno give you any more knowledge or credibility?

 

I would think gearing and ratios should play a huge part in this, however power/weight and the driver's ability to eek out the most of the platform of choice are the best factors. This is why it makes sense to have two people familiar with both cars drive them both, and let math be your friend.

 

sorry matt
i jus got carried away
haha i didnt mean to hurt peoples feelings
but i wasnt the one started about this BS thingy
i was pretty kool about everything
but u know sometime it gets you

yea mybad

jus to let u know i have more torque and it stays up there better than my friends evo
damn haha

 

Sorry for calling BS, it was just hard for me to believe from the conditions you posted. I know you won, bottom line. However, torque doesnt really play as much of a role from a roll . Why do you think honduhs are highway kings, lol. If Im ever up there after I get my tune, I'll gladly go for a friendly run

Wombat..im speaking straight line speed. The STi is a beast down low with full boost below 3500rpm, but physics dont lie. It isnt always great up top pushing 18psi+ on pump and going into hair dryer mode in the upper RPM range. However, Ed did a great job on the tune, it holds power from 6-7k very well, unlike a lot of the graphs you see with a sharp taper starting at 6k.

edit: and either way, your car is obviously a strong one.

 

haha yea it was kinda hard to believe but it happened
yea thanx for the compliment
haha yea good luck with ur tune man
see u around

 

when are you and davon gonna go out street racing and smokin fooz

 

hehe..soon boiiiii

 

No more street racing references, either explicit or implied, please. This is Alex's policy for this message board. Thanks for your consideration.

Nice numbers, Sean. How much does it cost for a Pro-Tune? How much more for a Super Pro-Tune? What extras do you get with Super Pro-Tune over a regular Pro-Tune? Thanks in advance.

wat sup stan

yea sorry for the post but theres no such thing as superprotuned haha it wa jus the title for hyped yea
i dont know on the pricing but contact ed at EQTUNING check out his website
www.Eqtuning.com scroll down ull see his contact information tell him sean send ya
iite stan hows ur 06 wrx goin?

 

It does its job well as a daily driver. I only have Cobb AP Stage 1 and Perrin crank pulley. I am interested in Stage 2, but I think I will wait for spring. There's no point for me to pro-tune now at Stage 1, but I'd definitely do it when I go to Stage 2. Thanks.

 

nice numbers

 

nice numbers sean!

 

The only reason that I have the ECUtek is that I am one of the original people that had a Uni-chip in 01 on my WRX and then moved over to the Ecutek when it first came out. So I am already in the whole a lot of money in the electronics department. If I moved to Cobb it would be on a different car.
And I live in Vacaville so Davis is someplace that is very close to get a tune done!!
