But I drag raced a friend in his bone stock, high mileage AP2 (slight bump in tq I know) several times from dig, roll, didn't matter, he JUST had me beat every time by a car length or two...more the faster we went. Similar tires, I using "Launch Control" (ECUtek) he wingin' it of course. Really surprised me. I think the weight difference was the determining factor though.
strange how in my situation a friend in his ap2 s2000(they keep the2.0 engine here) against my jdl uel-berk front-miltek catback toyobaru and he kept losing in the same way you lost by 2 car lengths and kept pulling away at higher speeds.. we even changed car and the results were the same. mayby the 2.2 engine really helps the s2000 in your case.
