It's not that bad, but it definitely isn't very inspiring. I thought my mirrors were gonna blow off or that the hood was gonna unlatch and slam into the windshield. No more of that; my limit is around 140-145, or the calm before the storm lol. I rarely drive it on the highway anyway.

I was trying to remember what it was called from memory. I was close! Any reason you're going from second to get your fastest 0-60 time? I assume traction issues. What PSI are you running? I didn't think you'd make that much power off of the stock turbo.

I have a friend with an msm, all he has is a cold air intake(forget which brand) and an axle back so no gains from that one, he did pulls and launches against a 2001 S2K our friend has and kept up with it the whole time, they did this about 10 times so ???? I say it was the driver from the s2k and loss of compression over time since I don't think just an a cai would give him that much power and aside from that my Si is faster than his msm in a straight line by a little and when I went up against an s2k awhile back, stock vs stock, thing just raped me lol

2nd gear launch is traction related and also eliminates shifting before 60mph. And yes, I'm at my limit on the stock snail. I'm not upgrading it unless it breaks, as I'm plenty happy with it as is

Your Si would have to be tuned and bolted well to beat an MSM... And an MSM with the mods you mention does gain numbers: About 45bhp to be exact if he was running a MBC, which would put him at about 190-200whp, which is plenty quick on the stock gears. Mine is at the limit of the stock turbo with my mods (about 250whp).
