Actually, im the boyfriend that is spoken of. And if you really wanna compare times and try to talk crap about a tc, maybe you 2 should be the ones doing some research. I run 15.4 with my stock tc on stock tires. (only mod is axle back exhaust, which if either of you 2 know anything about cars i might of gained a whopping 1-2 hp from it). A SI is SUPPOSED to run a high high 14-low 15 stock. but generally you see most people running anywhere from the low 15s to low 16s with a stock SI, which is on par with stock times for a tc. The reason being is that the tc has more torque than horsepower (161hp 163lb/ft of torque at the crank) and the SI is, how can i say, lacking in the torque area. So the tc will naturally pull a couple cars at least off the launch on a SI, but the SI SHOULD walk the TC back down on the top end of the track. The only place that a SI would shine against any tc would be from a roll, never from a dig because the SI just doesnt have the torque to pull as hard from a stand still. And if anyone still disagrees with me, i will be more than happy to meet anyone at the track and prove it to them. Also, if anyone wants to talk about F/I, a turbo tc is still on par with a turbo si. When my tc was turbocharged i ran 13.3 at the track on a 90 degree day with 72% humidity and spinning through 1st and 2nd like usual (so on a cooler day with less humidity times woulda been much quicker), and that was on stock tires, stock engine and stock clutch. I dynoed 248hp and 258tq. That was also on a very very conservative tune, was at 10.5A/f ratio. Coulda gotten way more power outta it but chose not to. And easily coulda been in the 12s with Drag Radials or Slicks...
