You should have man..... Maybe you could show us how to really run the Salt Flats.

Some of us might be going again in the late fall if you are interested in a Salt Flat run. Aparently there were a # of people that said they did not bring their fast cars and they want another crack at it. Come and join us

I will be upping my boost, changing the angle of the spoiler and running early in the morning for better temps... should provide MUCH better runs.

Your right, I would have to consider getting the 18's put on and a new set of tires for those too...

The WRX was probably scraping but it didn't really matter. The beginning of the next day the front diffuser was ripped completly off by highway debris.

Yea, we tried to fix it with zip ties, but in the end took it to a shop with a lift and just took it off and left it there... It was a pain in the ***. They were good guys though and took it all in stride.

Only way he was close to breaking 200 honestly. My gas milage was insanily good because of it. Altho, Dave did a full tune up before I left, which im sure helped, but cruising in 6th at 100 all the way out there, I was getting 400+ miles to a tank.

I really like it, it is great for cruising and it really helps with hard pulls, BUT i am taking it back out and putting my ATS diff back in.
I really prefer having a solid locking diff to the longer gears. Maybe after going back to the 1.5 way I might decide I want both and buy the Quaif, but right now, I really don't want to lose the beefed up diff.
I guess I won't know for sure until NOPI Nationals when I get the car back what my final decision will be.

Nowell is right, it really helped with gas milage. I was getting like 350 miles to a tank and not pushing it too much past the E-Light. Before I was lucky to get 250 miles. Doing 80mph in 6th was like 2700rpm... Crazy.
