rednek wrx,

Were you keeping your rpm's in the peak range? (4500-6500ish)

Who tuned the unichip?

ummm...

as far as I know, doing clutch dumps at 6K RPM is not the wisest thing. Maybe that is why you are only running 14's. Try slipping the clutch, from about 4500 RPM to 5K RPM and you might see better results -- not to mention a more stable tranny. At that rate, 6K RPM dumps will require you to get a new tranny...soon!

I slipped the clutch at about 4500-5000 and pulled a 1.89 60ft time. I dont know why your car is not pulling hard topend. I thought mine was slow at only 97 mph

Re: Re: ummm...

that isnt the point... w/all those mods & a 1.9 60' there is something definetly wrong w/his tiime...
14.0?! thats impossible...
pretty much doing anything to a wrx, w/a good launch, would yield 13s...
he's got an upgraded turbo, unichip, bla bla bla...

somethin is wrong w/ur car, thats all i can say [/QUOTE]

im taking my car in to get it tuned in a couple of weeks, to see if something is off, i was disappointed at first but after looking at everybody elses times it didn't seen that bad
Ex: 02 rsx typeS ran a 16.2...turbo civic 14.5...and a modded N/A typeR on drag slicks ran a 14.9
mabe it was terrible tack conditions, weather was warm and were about 3500ft. in altitude, anyway id like to try again at a different track

I feel that..

the altitude definately has something to do with it. There's a calculation somewhere, that allows a person at such altitude to calculate what the car would run, when at a closer distance to sea level.

Maybe if you search for altitude, you might find some threads that contain this calculation. Or, as you said, run at a track that is not 3500 feet above sea level.
