i raced a evo 8 from a dead stop with my 98 rs star turbo kit(t3), custom front mounted intercooler w/2.5"pipe, turbox bov,26lb. inj,2.5" cat back obx exhaust w/high flow cat,manual boost con.at 7psi.and i'm auto. i had three people with me and he was alone(that sucked!)anyways he left me off the line bad. he was 2-3 cars ahead before i even hit full boost and pulled from me like i do to stock neons. the weight made a huge differece i'm sure but you just can't beat that allwheel drive five-speed off the line unless you got slicks or something. i think from a 20mph roll-on (by myself!!)at 9 psi i would stay right with him if i'm lucky. they are fast as hell.
