Quick 40-140 video:



I found this and thought it was a funny comparison.

Stock 2011 WRX:


Oh how far my car has come....

Here's another video:


3rd Gear Pull @ 32psi (boost gauge goes wacky above 30psi)
2nd Gear Brake Boost, 3rd, 4th @ 30psi

50-100MPH is ~4 sec for the 3rd Gear Pull
60-130MPH is ~8 sec for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th Pull

Two updates from last night. First is that the WRX underbody/fender liner apparently doesn't like 130-140mph pulls too much. Mine ripped apart and was dragging under the car. I think the design catches air like a parachute and puts a lot of force on the plastic.

About half of this section was already broken off or worn away and the remaining part had a big crack in it. I attempted repairing the cracked part with zip ties and then secured it all to various points on the car with a few more zip ties. I'm not sure if it will hold or not.



After that I took the RPF1's off. It was a good run, but now the stock wheels are back on.
