I've beaten a stock WRX in Florida on the interstate with my SVT. An SVT will not beat one from the start but at speed if it's a stock one like the one I saw it's possible.

it was a race to speed limit (100km/h) so i dont know what kind of race it will be at higher speeds, especially when my car is governed at 112mph.

what about before the chip, i know my car still has lots of power to go when i hit the governer. maybe one day i will get a chip but i'm waiting until i finish modding the engine so i can get a custom one. then the question comes to my mind "what if i get the S/C?" the kit comes with a chip.
I know my car is in a desperate need for a chip i have to get rid of the governer and raise the rev limiter, and remap my fuel system. i'm running lean at high rpms and i think i'm running rich at low rpms too, or something is seriously wrong the way i'm idling now. i just did a tuneup this past summer and everything was fine until the weather cooled down.
