IIRC we get walked on pretty badly from a roll by a GTO. EWG is awesome, but I don't think we stand a chance with the VF39

I think it would depend on which type of GTO.

I've seen STi's pull on WS6's from a roll before, when the WS6 is stock and the STi is stage 2.

dyno number dont mean anything.

i have a friend who has a 5psi vortech supercharged camaro SS he made dynojet 395 -405whp
on the very same day we took it to a different dyno facility. AWD low reading mustang dyno. his best dyno number was 315whp. few weeks later we took it to a different dynojet the same dynojet that GTO used. the Camaro made 410 - 420whp

i have raced tons of EVO's making from 290whp - 380whp on low reading AWD mustang dyno and dyno dynamics so far i have not lost from a roll or stand still

this one is even worse

LOL I didn't know it was you/your car... I have heard about the Crazy tune that Ed did on your car. Congrats man, you have a helluva quick VF39'd STi

This is the fastest STi out there with the VF 39 (check out his sig) Ed did an amazing tune and he is a damn good driver!

I like your videos a lot.
I need my stage 2 to be close to yours in power.
Right now I just have a typhoon intake, 3" Invidia catless bellmouth downpipe, stock catback, walbro 255 fuel pump, and a protune done on the street.

What else should I do that would be worth while? I would love to go EWG, but right now, it doesn't make sense for me to do that. I would rather not totally void my warranty either. Maybe I'm just screwed. lol
