What is your trap speed to the nearest tenth mile per hour? That would be an indicator if your engine is producing the same power as other stock WRXs.

Your trap speed is a little bit on the low side for a WRX. Many will trap at 90 to 92 mph. You may have gotten one that is a little down on power. This isn't all that unusual for a WRX as some tuners have found a greater variance in stock WRX power than in other turbo cars. It doesn't really matter too much because a good custom tune and re-flash can often bring it pretty close to where it should be on par with other tuned WRXs. The reason for the variance in power is unknown. It could be that the clearances in some engines are tighter than others, valve lash might be slightly off, etc.
Your 60 ft time of 2.0 seconds isn't too bad but I think it isn't likely that you will get your car into the 14's. You can work on your launch and try different shift points but don't go past redline - the stock WRX's power falls off much earlier than redline so you may actually go slower if you wind it tighter than that.

I misread your post. If you've already gotten a 15.253 second E.T. then you stand a decent chance of getting a high 14-second E.T. with a better launch.

To what track did you take it to? I also have a high 1/4 time, I ran a 14.7 with a Cobb stage 2. My best time was 92mph, but I had a horrible 60' at best being 2.3 and worst 60' time came at 2.7. I'm going back pretty soon and hopefully I'll improve those times. So how are you launching ur car?
