Sti Trouble

one of my close buddies just got an sti, and hes been talking about smoking my evo. So i no i can most likely take him becuz im a good driver, but so is he. So my question is what is one mod that i can do to my bonestock evo to almost guarantee a win when we race. Hopefully the modification is not to expensive...any suggestions

I beat one and all I have is the turboback and Injen Intake. It all depends on how much you want to spend.

Not talkin smack, but Ive yet to be beat by an STI. From a roll or otherwise, and all I have is a turbo back. I actually have the xede now also.
Most of the ones around here all have cheapo cat backs and pep boy intakes so there prolly slower than stock anyway.

Now when you start talkin Vishnu stage one for the STI its gonna be a different story. Stock for stock you should be able to take him pretty easy. Throw in a boost controller that holds 19 psi till redline and it will be no contest. You wont even need race gas.
