Default Bonestock 01 Z28 VS. Lightly modded 04 STi.

Hey guys, figured i would post up a lose.

Anyhow, went to a local car meet for a couple hours today and had a good time, well me and my friend left following another friend in an 01 T/A. Anyway a guy from a local site, and the meet, came flying up behind us catching up real quick and stayed behind me and then slowed so i proceeded to slow as well. At around 35 he asks whats a good speed for me and i tell him 55. Well at 50 he gives 3 honks, well, my reaction time is WAY off. I go WOT at the 3rd honk and hes already in front about half a car. Well from 50 to 100 or so he pulls 2 1/2 cars.

It was fun none the less. The guy is extremely nice and a VERY VERY good driver. He can drive that thing perfectly. Anyway his mods are Turbo Back Exhaust, Tanabe Drop Springs, K&N Filter, and "Stage 2 Map on the computer".

Pretty quick car. Anyway im BONE STOCK. Anyway, no excuses but my reaction time needed to be alot better. I gave him half a car, haha. Anyway it was fun and i didnt take it to hard considering hes a good driver, and im bone stock.

Sorry for the long post. - Zack

Also i was hauling some LT1 rims wrapped in some perty big ET Streets out back and a 6' 200 lb passenger.

What sort of things can i do to get better throttle response, and make things alot closer for the next meet? He'll be probably be the same mods cuz of his warranty. I may be ordering a K&N Filter, SLP Lid, and SLP Smooth Bellows sometime next week or so. I know this wont close the gap to much, but it will help, as will throwing on some stock z28 rims out back. Give me your thoughts.

Im thinking of just keeping the cash and spending it on TSP's new headers and runnin open headers for a bit. Then after ORY, ill go lid, bellows, and 3.73's, tune. But i think i'll just mod slowly but surely, not cutting any corners. More mods will flow in once i re-finance though!
Mods to come are as follows:

-SLP Lid
-SLP Smooth Bellows
-K&N Filter
-TSP L/T's
-TSP ORY
-Motive 3.73's
-Tune.

Ill carry on from there later, haha.
