When SA dynoed their car it made 263whp 203 torque; 2 tenth of a sec against those kind of numbers is unbelievable. SA Scion Racing also has good suspension setup, good after market exhaust and good aerodynamic add-ons. Although Dave and Pete are not world class drivers but they in my humble opinion good drivers, would no just be ahead by 2 tenth of a sec against an NA frs. Again, are you kidding me?
If you are that good of a driver you shouldn't be driving against non-pro drivers. You should be driving with F1 drivers instead.
But I bet instead you guys did something else with the "stock" NA engine. I bet you modified the engine with Bigger valves, port and polished heads, higher compression pistons, lighter forged rods, lighter crank pulley and flywheels. Also race gas within 1500 km between race tracks.
If everything I say is not true then I apologized in advance. I am just very skeptical that a NA "stock" FA motor will only be 2 tenth of a sec behind a FI non-modified FA20 engine with 263whp / 203 torque. No matter how good of a driver you are, it is just unbelievable for a "stock" NA FA20 equipped frs/brz/gt86 will be just 2 tenth of a second behind another frs that is FI with 263 whp/203 torque.

LOL, was fun reading this.
The car and engine setup are exactly as stated.
There are no smoke and mirrors here.
Power upgrades:
- drop-in K&N air filter
- OpenFlash Header
- OpenFlash tablet running Stage 2 - 93 Octane tune (couldn't run E85 for this event)
- I'm even running a stock catback exhaust.
I'm sure with this setup I am probably putting down somewhere between 190-195 whp, and closer or just over 200 on E85 (which we didn't run for the event).
Yes, we had better tires. Our "good" set was the RE71R in a 245/40R17, other was the Hankook RS3 in a 255/35R18.
But you forgot the most important mod that I listed, "seat time".
This isn't my first rodeo, I have been driving on track for awhile. I am typically 3 secs ahead of other twins at my home track. I have also driven Shannonville, Mosport and Cayuga previously in my Time Attack days.
Would be more than happy to take you out for a rip as a passenger sometime.
