Rannoch : As you have made reference to my times etc. on this and another thread here are the facts. Also please note I am not a regular at Elvington and from memory my current Wagon has run there three times in the last 12 months.
30.03.03 :
Run 3 - 12.35 1.905 116mph
Run 6 - 12.30 1.899 116mph
Run 9 - 12.28 1.933 116mph (last run).
Top speed 160mph.
Having fitted a new clutch and lighter flywheel along with other mods I wanted to practice some standing starts prior to TOTB.
27.07.03
Run 1 - 13.02 2.286 117mph (Bogged)
Run 2 - 12.80 2.119 118mph (Bogged)
Run 3 - 12.43 2.117 128mph (Wheelspin)
Top speed 176mph (Run 3).
I only had three runs before discovering a sparking plug problem (ceramic insulator broken from electrode tip) which put an end to my day and necessitated cylinder head removal. However, as I was learning a new starting technique which varied substantially from that used in March (because of the lighter flywheel) the July figures are not representative of what will be possible from the current set up.

Best turbo to make 380-400ps in a new-age STi 'and still keep the stock up-pipe and d/p connections' is? 
Sorry!

harvey what ratios are you running
andy what ratios are you running?
what final drives are you both running
What tyre /wheel sizes on each car..
what gears do you both cross the quarter in?

As I would expect low 11's out of each car... depending on above It might be for sale.
