Hey guys, I was wondering if some of you could give me some advice. I went to Bandimere speedway last night and it was the 1st time I've dragged my '07 STi. I have to say, I wasn't that impressed with the way I was driving it.

Here was my car's setup and dyno graph:
Prodrive CAI
MadDad TBE, Prodrive Oval Muffler
Walbro 255
830cc Injectors
Perrin Lightweight Pulley
E-85 map on Cobb AP
Stock RE-070s at 36F, 34R

*elevation is 5,200ft at the strip*



Here were my results:
~13.5-13.7 ET @ 101-103mph
~1.90-1.99 60ft
------------------------------

I typically launched by holding my revs at 6,000-6500rpm and then carefully but quickly releasing the clutch. My DCCD was in full open on each pass. I would then shift from 1st-4th at or just below redline.


-->> Do you guys see anything wrong here? Give me your best pointers criticisms, this was my 1st time racing at a dragstrip. I'm typically more of a road course guy, but I have to say that going to the strip was a lot of fun.

Thanks guys!

At that elevation the et is not to bad. I have raced at 2 tracks with 1 at 3500ft and the other at 500ft and the difference is about 1/2 second better at the lower elevation. Work on your 60ft, beyond that the trap speed seems a little low. Most stock sti's can trap 101-103.

i ran a 13.78 with a gutted stock dp and full 3'' on back..also hit a 1.7 60 ft....the only thing i say is practice...also what i do is try to get a super shallow stage so i can take off on the last yellow before the green to get a pretty good reaction time....and dont dump the clutch, kinda try to ride it out for a tiny little bit.

Dont hold the engine speed at 6000 before launching. You want to get it at about 4000-4500 and rapidly fluctuate it to build up boost. Just holding it steady doesnt build boost. Also look for other guys at the track who have awd turbo cars and ask them questions.
