You also said you cooked a piston ring with a different tune. Sounds like more than just an exhaust to me.
How do you plan on proving the other person wrong? He said the max speed they could get a "stock" STI to was 164mph.

I don't think a stock STI has enough bottom end to hit 170+ without a significant tailwind and going downhill. Tq peak is right around 2500-3000 rpm, right? goes steadily downhill from there and by 7000 RPM you have as much TQ as you did at 1000 RPM. Combine that with diminishing HP numbers and aerodynamic drag increasing exponentially with speed i'd venture to guess that it's going to top out under 170. up the boost and retune for a little more TQ up top and you might be able to get there but it's going to push the turbo to its limit.

No way on this earth. Maybe if you dropped it out of a plane?

Which is totally theoretical, it is only saying that the gearing is sufficient. The power and aerodynamics may make it totally improbable. Not that my car will do 176 either!!
Sorry I don't feel comfortable going around a turn doing 170mph

terminal velocity. and i do agree on the turning thing. thats what sold me on rx7s.
test drove a brand new 05 STI, had something like 80 miles on it. a week before that i had test driven a 93 rx7 with 140k on the clock and blown turbos.
needless to say, i now have an FD

Google dosnt have any experaince.
I would much rather go from PROVEN experaince, than some ******* bullshit mathematics.
Also, ill go with the proven facts of STI's wining natinal championships for the past 2 years.
but hey, i bet google knew that too right?
