Spanked by a new rex :(

Driver is a friend of a friend and he was trying. After he was all "bRo, youR cAr is MaD fast'R than i ThougT it B". Don't know him too well and apparently is a gigantic newb which doesn't surprise me. They make like what, 230 or so hp to the wheels stock on top of weighing 3300lbs. I figure I'm making around the 160hp fm states running around 6psi so that puts our power to weight ratios in the same ballpark. Only raced from a roll, didn't want to bother otherwise and get my **** eated.
It is completely unmodded, on crappy 91oct, the only thing done to it is a custom, very conservative tune by me (at only 12.5psi, 1psi over stock)..I have a custom 17psi peak map that I flash in on special occasions that would bump peak numbers and everything below 5500rpm at least another 20whp.
I ran a stock sti, and we are about even with him starting to pull away at speeds over 70. A tbe+tune sti absolutely rapes me.
On a dynojet a stock sti usually puts down 245-50 or so. On a mustang about 220-30...
For the record, my wrx is around 3200 with me in it (did a little weight redux).

BTW: this only applies to subaru's, srt4's, cobalt's, and a couple other cars. Thats it. Anyone that asks what "stage" your miata is at is a complete and utter fucktard

That was my car at 7psi (greddy with tons of bandaids) the day I put the FMIC on it, and dyno'd at 146whp. I ran into him on the way home and he wanted to run to see where we stood. This was probably the 4th or 5th time we raced. Anytime I did a mod, we ran to where I stood. That is the WRX that I mentioned above that made 260whp.
7psi w/ bandaids vs 6psi AEM EMS. Tuning IS everything.
10psi tuned vs untuned. We turned the boost up from 6psi to 10psi at the drag strip, and just added fuel and pulled timing to be safe. The next day with put it on the dyno and did 3 tuning pulls.
