Not as fast as I would have liked... I had just ran before that and was probably heatsoaked. The run before was a 13.4 at 92... lol. My sweaty ass hands slipped off so 5th stayed in neutral. I babied the 5th shift on the 13.0 run so it would go in.. so I probably left some time on the table there. I probably left a tenth or two on the shifts and a tenth or two on the launch.

Pissed I only got 2 runs in though. Some kid in a civic blew up on the launch, and made it the rest of the way down the track dripping fluids.

Mods on the car: Cobb TBE (3" section removed) Vibrant headers, PT/Tial 44mm EWG, Aquamist HFS5 meth running 70/30 meth/water, Walbro 255, TXS mbc. After the tune I dynoed at 320/390... their dyno runs 215 WHP stock.

I would have thought that at least your trap speed would have been much higher considering your mods.

[manny07sti]

Shouldn't you be in the middle 12's easy.

[chaos311clarity]

with the amount of power you are making, you should def be running faster...


i ran 13.1@105 at cecil county with a 1.9 60' (stage 2)

[manny07sti]

But with stage 2 setup are we not in the 12's. With a good decent driver who knows what they are doing.

[importfanatic17]

With those mods and a decent driver mid 12s should be attainable. With a 105 trap speed you should crack 12s as well. Maybe try to get that 60' down and shift faster (I know you said you babied it).

[Maverick31]

With all of those mods, and the power he's making, you should be trapping higher than that.

I've seen a lot of stage 2 (just TBE and tune) running into the 12's with that kind of trap speed.

Who knows. My 13.4 run at 92 was about 2 mph ahead in the 1/8 mile before I missed 5th.

I think heatsoak played a big part in this.

This was my first time at the track in this car though... driver mod ftl.

[Maverick31]

Everyone starts there at first, it's no big deal.
For your first time at the track, I don't it's that bad of a time.

[renns]

First time in the STi.


Been there plenty of times before in the stang.

[13onesti]

nice runs bro..

my very first pass down the track on my bone stock 04 STi was 16.7xx

so dont worry that means you just have to practice more

[silverex]

slow shifting kills et and mph on a sti. Not worth going to the track if your going to baby shifts.

What rpm are you shifting at?

Are you shifting with a "Z" patern from 2nd to 3rd and 4th to 5th.

Cause if you are you need to shift with a diagonal line in one straight motion.(no zig)

Can you explain this please? Can't you only shift into the gears one way?

About as close to a straight diagonal line as I can go from 2nd to 3rd. 4th to 5th I did more of a 'Z'... the synchros are pretty toasted in 5th gear.

By slow shifting I mean I wasn't powershifting, but still shifting decently fast. I shifted at 7000 in first and 6500 in 2 3 and 4. I was thinking that I would stay in my powerband better, but if I had brought it out to redline it would have probably ended up better. I think I have another 5/10ths I could get out of it by shifting at redline and icing the IC and intake pipes.

JASV- I saw your videos on youtube and was stoked I was going to run a 12.1 at 110+... I guess not. I still feel like I could eventually get there, or atleast to a 12.5 at 109/110.
