Yes I come from high powered subarus so this is a bit new. Yes what I call top motor mount is what you guys refer to as solid front mount, as far as dp no emissions tests in Iowa so whatever yields the largest gain.

So it sounds like I should just make a list of everything I want and install and tune it all at once!

Also bowtie thanks for the slip and info much appreciated!

Awesome thank you 2005hhrauto!! Can I pm you my email? What exactly would I need to put a tune in it just the software and your data I assume? How much would the software cost and how much for a tune from you?

Id like to get to the 13.5-14.5 range with just a tune if that is in fact possible with just 91oct pump gas on stock parts and then really mod it out in about a year or two!

Awesome this is what I was hoping for so ill email you tomorrow! And try to track someone down in my area (eastern Iowa) willing/able to load the tune.

Would be amazing to get it tuned for only $100 otherwise ill save up for the stuff myself!

It will cost more, if you find a local tuner they usually charge for their time ($150 in most cases) plus the $100 unlock. Most guys depending on what they do, or if you just use his email tunes youll be around $200-$250 if you can find someone local.

And just like he said, engine mount, K&N filter and a downpipe. Thats all you need! 13's are cake.

That tune from 2005HHRauto sounds like what you're looking for.
But, if you can't get it hooked up to the pavement, then it will be a waste of a good tune. Plan on at least getting some front tires to help with the traction.

Sounds good and I'm not new to the track by any means so once I get the learning curve down I can begin to dial in my time :)

I'm thinking a nice easy 2k launch and hold off on wot till at least mid 2nd gear is gonna be about right from what I'm reading, track conditions depending of course!

Now to track someone down in eastern Iowa willing to so the tune that 2005HHRauto sent me!

2005HHRauto do you recall what your best stock time was with street tires? Give me something to shoot for!
