My buddies Stage 2 WRX STI pushing 19 psi on his stock turbo was barely cutting 9.4. I walked all over him when we lined up...granted he was still learning to launch the car, but yeah they aren't that fast. I also raced my other buddy in his 07 wrx that has upgraded turbo and EWG and built trans and water/air intercooler setup and he runs about 8.1. His advantage is he can side step his clutch and not worry about breaking his trans where I'm still the stock 5-spd. I tree'd him and ended up winning by .055 cause he cut a 8.2 and I ran a 8.4 but I crossed the line first so still a win.

I'm also on a very very safe tune with AFR around 10.7-10.9 and not a lot of timing which is why I'm trying to find a good tuner to get my AFR and timing where it should be, I'm also only pushing 20 psi on the turbo that will still be about 77% efficient around 26 psi so I have more air to push and plenty of fuel left. Meth sounds like the route I'm going to go, I just figured I'd get some opinions from here about the E85 in the area.
