CONGRATS! I know you're happy as a clam.
I was trying for 13's last year, but had no traction. I'm gonna try again with slick or drag radials and see what happens.
You know If you had drag radials on your ride I'm sure your 60 foot times and overall times would be way better.
I think it's a tenth for every point down on a 60.
So, you did a 2.0-60 this time.
a 1.7-1.8-60 should net you a 13.6 or 13.7
I have a question to ask. If you have a Turbo and bump up the boost, then wouldn't you run much faster?
If that is true then If you're at the tree and you hold your left foot on the brake and the right on the gas and load up till you a specific rpm like your converter flash stall. Then when you take off your turbo should be spooled up, RIGHT?
That's only if you have a AUTO.
Another question. What are your converter stall speeds?
You should try this at the track and I'm sure that you'll get out of the hole like a bat outta hell.
Disregard if you know this already.
Please forgive my ignorance of turbos and the WRX.
Good run too...

by converter flash stall i think you mean, the fuel cut? i think thats at about 7300 rpms or so, and while its possible to launch at that rpm with our awd, the car wouldnt last long...
turboxs is coming out with a software upgrade for their utec that will let you sit at a specific rpm with the throttle completely down and build boost on the line... and you can also leave the throttle down between shifts so bosst doesnt drop
you can build boost on the line without any gadgets, but me since im totally stock, i cant even get out of vacuum, so the benefits are probably null, what i do do is revv the **** out of the engine right beforhand to get the turbo spinnig,
they also have anti-lag systems which drop bits of unburnt fuel into the exhaust line and it in turn ecplodes creating afterfire and keeping the turbo spooled, ive heard that some rally cars run at 1 bar at idle????

Anti-lag systems I think may be related to the sequential-trani set-up..... I heard about it too, but couldn't find a damn thing for proof!!
Do I really NEED drag radials?? My boyfriend has been trying to talk me into those for the past month.. I keep thinking more practially like WHAT IF IT RAINS.... Toyo Proxes may be better for a daily driven car.

Wow I was surprised the car went that fast. Just wanted to let every one here know.
This was my first time at the track with this car by the way.
Runs are as follows:
14.33 at 94 2.1 60 ft.
13.97 at 96 2.0 60 ft.
13.82 at 96 1.9 60 ft.
I know I can bring down the 60 ft more if I dump nstead of the slip then dump that I was doing, but thats hard on the car. The only mods I got are:
Turboxs BOV
Xs engineering CAI
Boost set at 15.5
