02 SLP Firehawk vs 06 STi
Seriously tho yes it is bigger I can't remember the exact dimensions as far as mm but IRC the stock one is around 39mm and the 20g is around 50 mm.

Launching!
Don't laugh man, some people do!!! People who are strictly into things like auto-x keep the smaller turbos and just do meth injection. The same applies as turbo'ed LSx's, with a bigger turbo you have slower spool. So, if you want quck and zippy with no real topend you keep the smaller size turbo. The meth will just add power to the set up.
I'd love to have a 30r with meth, but I plan on keeping my STi a DD. That means keeping the stock turbo or slightly larger(like your 20g) with a conservative tune. If I go all out(I doubt it 'cause I'd rather a vette over a built STi) I'd do a 35r with built motor. Only problem is the cost...BIG $$$$.....and then it won't be a DD any more.

Not likely I still pulled him midrange and topend, with him getting a 3 car jump to begin with. I was beside him at 130mph when we shut down, so if we had started at same time that means I would have pulled him by nearly 3 car lengths from 80-130mph. But it's been said before: anything can happen on the street.

I haven't been back to the track since I was at "Cobb stage II" which consisted of turbo back exhaust, and an off the shelf 93 octane map. The drag strip that I went to was only timing 1/8ths that day and I went 8.3 @ 83mph which translates into a 12.8 1/4mile. Benchracing aside, since then I've added right at 100whp so I should see a decreased ET and increased trap speed over that. Either way I know I'm on the right track cause out here in the real world; on the street: I pulled a 340rwhp+ LS1 on top end. From what I understand that should indicate I would have a higher trap speed than him. Being an ex owner of a 330rwhp+ Blackbird Trans-am I have a real apreciation for what f-body Ls's can do on top end. This is a real acchievement for my car, and a testimate to Boxer4racing and their Subaru expertise.

I guess your talking about the time you raced rock? I think he's ready for a rematch! Congrats on your setup it seems to be doing good. I ran my car at commerce and could only pull a 13.2 but it was at 112mph. If you haven't guessed yet I couldn't get ANY traction. 2.3 60' lol. My car does hook alot beter on the street but im sure it won't take off anything like your car. We need to have another match. When do you want to go?

Sounds good to me! Did I tell you about the guy with the Black 99-04 mustang? I was riding to blue ridge with dad and we got behind this black mustang. We where at the walmart red light behind him. The light turned green and he took off. Dad desided to get in it and we really didnt pull on him. I figured we would be on his back bumper in no time. Well I seen the mustang last night at White's. I talked to the guy and he said he didnt know what the car had done because he bought it from another guy. He said it did have nitrous on it at one time. I know it wasn't stock!

I was on my way home last night from school when I noticed some headlights coming up behind me at a very fast pace and I thought heck yah finally a race! I was running about 65 mph and downshifted to 4th and prepared to give it a little brake boost Next thing happened tho he didnt even slow down just flew past at 80 mph; so I kick it to catch up and soon as I kick it he really nails it hard with at least 3 car lengths ahead of me. So I just kept in the throttle and slowly reeled him in till we had to let off for traffic at about 130mph with my front fender at his door. Then he again sped away when I dropped down to 60-65mph for another run. He caught a light up ahead but I couldnt get beside him for a dig launch 
After the light I again came up beside him and again he took the hit and pulled about a car and 1/2 before I stopped his pull and then as I was about to pass he shut down at about 100mph.
But what amazed me is how strong that car was, and the exhaust sounded sooo awesome. We pulled over and talked for a minute and he said the reason he jumped each time is he thought I was going to slingshot him when I was pulling up next to him. Mods to his car besides the SLP options: headers, longtubes , ory. How much horses do you think he 's pushing? Mine dyno'd 360awhp and 345awtq and it was really a fairly good race even with him jumping. I could stop his pull right away but it took quite a bit to catch him, so props to the LS1's highway roll capability!

I see him ever once in a while. If I see him I will tell him to come hang out with the big boys. His car looks like a cobra. It has the big wheels and a cowl hood. Do you want me to see if curtis wants to brang out the stang.

I think you drafted me on the first run. And I think the second run was more like 120. But yeah I was taking the hit and if we were starting even I do think I would have lost so props for a sweet ride.

Lol no I was in the fast lane and you were in slow lane so don't think I got much draft. Thanks for the Props, and your ride is fast as hell; and looks sweet. I got mixed up on the Firehawk because of the SLP package I didn't know that WS6's came with that pkg. Now that you got that cam I think me and Justin will have our hands full
