Ya, (15g), what the heck is that? Ive heard of various turbos.....(13g, t-25, t-28, 14b, 16g, b16g, 18g, 20g, t3/t4, just to name a few.) 15psi isnt that much. But i'd say you did pretty well against him. He's lucky you guys raced from a roll becuase launching with a fwd powerful car sucks. To be honest, i'd say the only reason why you could keep up with him in first and second is becuase in a healthy fwd dsm you cant even go 75% throttle without roasting your tires regardless of whether it's 1g or 2g. I dont even think you can go full throttle untill the top of 3rd and still have traction. I dont know jack about honda's but wouldnt 3rd gear be like golden? You should be going between 70-100mph by then.

Yeah I run 15psi and my GS-T is nothing compared to most. I definately have the issues in 1st & 2nd with wheel spin. I can't give it full throttle or I roast the tires.
3rd gear should be the 'magic' gear. I know that's where my Si pulls hardest.
