i guess it depends how you define "way more"
imo, i don't think those things are what caused zoeb to get "ran away from"
not to say that those don't make a difference or anything, but not enough by themselves to cause that kind of humiliation to zoeb

haha also this thread. This was from the first hamilton meet back when i had very few mods. Even with good brakes some stuff can happen, he had brembos and coming into a turn his abs came on and he slid almost into the wall while i passed by on the inside. lol hamilton isn't the smoothest road....

I agree that it shouldn't have been that much of a difference also, but you were there last night when Tommy drove my car and said there was a boost issue...not about not running enough, about how it climbed...
Then on top of that, he has more stuff then I do like a front mount, headers, way lighter wheels, 1 less passenger, no junk in the trunk
...I know weight doesn't make a huge difference, but I am just throwing in other factors beside everything thinking its just 1 thing.As for the humiliation comment....I am not humiliated...Sure I would have liked to do better, but there is always someone faster and you can't compare a car that has less done to it and is partially retarded at the moment.
btw 1.4 psi more is a pretty big difference.

should have bought volks zoeb 
It's also pretty hard to compare cars with different gearing, ill probably end up getting the sti ra gears once my tranny goes.

Davon, how much boost do you think you would hit in 5th gear? Do you think that is safe for you?
Zoeb how much boost do you think you hit in 5th gear and do you think that is safe for you?
Now since my car is just a little RS, anyone want to race...
Is there anyone in the bay area? Bueller?

yep.. as these cars are getting older, we're seeing a wider range of personality. They can usually be tuned to within 10whp of each other given the same mods. But their individual tuning requirements can be pretty different. It's interesting. When the WRXs first came out, they all behaved the same. I think a lot of the current deviations has to do with how well they have been maintained and treated.

The hard part is finding the right combination. If that means more or less boost with more or less fuel with more or less spark advance (at different RPM/load zones) so be it. Really depends on associated mods and the "personality" of the car.

speaking of personality shiv, gonna have to stop by soon and have you retune the beast. I had the fron half of the fuel system redone (ss lines, canton mecca fuel filter, etc) so its running a bit more "rich as a hilton sister" at the moment. If i can swing it i may have some larger injectors as well...
