And BTW my good friend has a 2004 EVO with a full exhaust, intake, delete pipe, and he pulled the pins out of his turbo line so that he was running near 28psi and with a 1.7 sixety he ran 12.80 @ 105 or 104 that should help. But also i have a friend who had a 2002 wrx with basic bolt ons that ran a 14.2 at best. 14.2 will never ever compare with a C5 vette of any kind so dont say a WRX can keep up with a Vette...an STI with serious mods maybe, but no WRX.
ummm.....Pins in the turbo line??? What is this you speak of? I come from the world of Mitsubishi tuning and am wondering what it is you are talking about.

SAFC will NEVER gain 40whp. Limited fuel tuning computer that only lies to the car telling it a different amount of air is coming into the car than what really is. Small lie-box and you need one if you are going to be changing boost pressures and such. Not going to see 40 hp with this one.
