I eat 4.6 gt's all day, and stick real close with the 5.0's. A good buddy of mine has a full stage 2 Cobb tuned 2004 Wrx and I stomp him from a 20 roll every time, and still get him out of the box if I don't spin. I have a hard time understanding why people think this car is slow? I know the cars don't launch for shit, but not all 'racing' is from a dig...

regardless like others have mentioned.. not what this car is made for. OP should have bought something AWD if he wanted to drag race... or something with a bigger motor

First, are we talking about racing from standstill? Or are we talking about autox or track?
Because I don't see a non-FI FA20 'sticking close' to a 5.0 in a straight line.

Lol I see so many people on this forum with outrageous claims. Makes me chuckle.

An N/A 86 is going to be nowhere near a Coyote in a straight line

Oh and terminators were 4.6's and um yeah nooo lol

I'm guessing those 4.6 and 5.0 drivers saw a twin pull up, chuckled, and just decided to humor the guy :P

Or they were on their way home from a long day at work, and didn't feel like "racing" a stranger with an ego problem.

how much power have these operations granted you? also the take-off or torque is what its called I guess? I want to be able to put mustangs/camaros/ similar entry level american muscle cars on their asses, they are annoying as fk

the power gain is very noticeable. you won't be beating v8 muscle cars though. like others have said, this is not the car to buy if you want to go fast in a straight line.

My path so far as been:
stock
k/n drop in air filter and perrin inlet tube ($200)
openflash tablet (tuning) ($500)
openflash header ($600)
RCE springs ($300)
Grimmspeed strut bar ($150)

the intake/tuning/headers provide power, sound, engine response. The springs will lower slightly and help the car to handle better overall. springs first, wheels and brakes next.

Off-topic: What's the major difference for you the openflash tablet/header?

I first purchased OFT when all I had was the revised intake. After stage 1 tune I felt a little bit more power at 4k rpms +, engine runs a little smoother, more responsive. The little things.

OFH+stage2 tune makes the car noticeably faster. Good torque gains right where the stock engine drops out.

I really have only had OFH for a very short time so far, though.

TL;DR, spend your money in a way that will make you happy.

Your original question is actually impossible to answer in any form of honest means!
The two quotes above actually lead you in the right direction.
When you say "hey guys what should I do?" you will get 1000 opinions but nor one of them may meet what your wants /needs are.
Drive the car as is a while then figure out what way you want to go with it. Then ask "hey guys I would like better handling and have researched this, this and this so does anybody have any thoughts on them?" You will still get 1000 opinions but at least they will now be focused on what you are looking for.

PS If indeed you want to kick mustang ass you become the same kind of annoying as they are!

This is incorrect. Lowering a car does not make it better handling all the sudden. Have a quick read. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10643

Very first thing you should upgrade on this car is the tires.
