moreHP,
I remember when your car competed in SCCs spank the STi competition it had acceleration problems because of the aftermarket clutch, and even though you had the most HP you weren't nearly the fastest. Have you made any changes to fix this or was it just a matter of getting things broken in?

Love the car by the way.

Derek

hahah That was so long ago and yes we have made a million changes since then. I only had 3100 miles on it when we did those tests. We didn't build the car to run the quarter so it was kinda of a strange thing for us to test in. We built it to see how much power could be pulled out the stock 2.0 bottom end and then rip the car apart and road race it. That's why we installed that clutch. Impossible to launch on boost with that thing. Super fun day though. The car is putting down 379whp off the bottle and 439 whp on the bottle today. Its been really fun. Glad you like the car.

Cheers,

Haven't dynoed it yet... but I've had a few people tell me with my setup I should have a hp output similar or a little higher than an STi. Just wish I had all that torque though.

After the car is paid off is when the REAL mods will start. That's when I'll be doing either an IHI or preferebly Garrets "disco potato" turbo upgrade, and a 2.2 bore kit. The ladder of the two is what will produce a big torque increase. Looking to make it my 400 hp weekend ride then.
