It is nice to see you hit the 12's. I thought you would be the first and with the stock turbo. Now lower your reaction times and lets see how low in the 12's you can go.
Great Job jcgemt2003 and Protege Garage!
Reaction time does not impact the 1/4 mile time.

aren't the stock rods already forged?

i have a set of stock rods in my hand from the DISI 2.3 and they are no stronger looking than my stock protege rods, no offense. even if they are made of a stronger metal, they are much thinner than an aftermarket forged rod like the pauters we now offer.
 
how did you come up with a 0-60 in 4.3? you have a timer? that seems quick considering the say stock is 5.9 or so?

Stock is 5.2-5.0.(Car and Driver)..and I used a simple 0-60 calculator..It actually came out to 4.25 and I rounded up. Heres the link...You can find other ones on the web. They calculate it using your 1/8 mile performance and some use your vehicle weight. I actually used several different ones just to make sure and they all came up the same.

Thanks man! Well, that shows that i need to keep practicing!!! Haha. The launch is killin me. I have never drivin AWD. Where do u guys have your RPMs at when u launch?? I was told 6000... Agree???

That sounds little high..From what i read..and what i have tried..5k is the place to be..this way by the time ur in gear and launch..the turbo should be spooled. Feather the clutch through 1st until it grips..and shift before 5500rpms..unless you have the mods to get you to 6k.
