It's going to be very tough without spray, I think your only chance will be driver error or inexperience. A 400awhp STi should easily be in the 11's and trapping upwards of 115+mph.

I would try and coax him into a low roll where he is forced into the low RPM and has to wait for his turbo to spool up. I'm sure he has upgraded to a GT30R or 35R to reach that power level and thus his spool will take longer than on the stock turbo.

I know from a dig he will def put it on me, I hope from a roll I can hold him off. He beat my buddys z28 full exhaust, intake() out of the hole(traction vs awd) but he ran him down, from a 30 mph roll the z28 had him all over the place, I would think a 6-speed z28 with them mods is pos a 330whp car, im just curious, I havn't got the damn truck tuned yet, so I will have to wait an see. My combo is proven good for high/mid 12's so we will see. Maybe I try him from a dif if he puts it in 2wd

Yah. You think a 100 shot would do the trick?

Depends on what your combo puts down NA, I dont think you would hook at all from a low 1st gear roll on a 100 shot, maybe if you hit it at the top of 1st. Its going to take 500rwhp to outrun a 400awhp sti due the weight difference and your truck being on 20s.

It's going to be hard trying to run an AWD vehicle from a dig or low roll, I would just be spinning all over at anything under 50mph.in 2wd. I have run a couple of these things, they are impressive little cars but then again it's nice to have 4wd sometimes.
