Default turbo 4.8 beat sti

i live in la pine, oregon. nothing much to do around here at all. i was messing around with my truck about a mile away from my house on a 3/4 mile straight line two lane road. i was practicing launching and finally honed in perfectly. right as im about to leave, a subaru sti pulled up next to me on the left. we talked for a few minutes. he said he had a tune, cai, exhaust. i told him my mods, (sts turbo kit, exhaust, tune, etc.) i figured why not. on the third honk, he pulled out in front of me by about 1 1/2 car like i knew he would (all wheel drive ricers). but by the beginning of third i was door to door with him, and at the beginning of fourth(right before the 1320 mark) i got him by nearly 2 of my truck lengths. i stopped and he kept going. im just stoked cuz i know what those things to stock and i beat a slightly moded one. so i know that im some where in the 13.4- 13.8 section. (plus i know the 1/4 mile on that steet, i marked it off with a rolling measuring tape thingy) so stoked! now i really want to go to the track and see my exact times and mph

Why does it have to be a ricer. I dont get this, people label the small cars a ricer even if they are done right. Take it to the track and post up some numbers.

i did take it to the track. i was at 10lbs on race gas. 13.9 @101 but since then, i took off the cats and muffler, new tr6 plugs, msd wires, new blow off valve spring, self ported t.b.
so with those small added mods since my last track run in cali, im sure ive dropped about .2-.3 hundreths of a second. and my dyno number in my sig are on the current setup i have on the truck no, except im at 9 lbs of boost

ya, i thought he'd keep ahead of me but i pulled him pretty good. but since he is awd, i have a little better topend cuz im only spinning two wheels and hes got to turn 4 and i dont think those things are geared very well for topend, but i could be mistaken
