The cuda is a 4 gear right? If the suburau was an auto, and the kid doesn't know how to drive it, it would be closer, but I have tio agree that it will win. The 340 will have to be beefed up quite a bit in the area of cam and gear to pull off a win.

The real question, is it a STI? Is the kid willing to launch it hard? aka bounce it off the limiter and dump the clutch? If you answered yes to either of those, you're losing for sure. If its just a regular WRX and the kid drives like a girl, you might have a chance, but my money is still on the WRX. Me racing against my buddies STI, he has out MPH'd me a couple times, but his AWD is no match for my big converter and sticky tires.

I'm gonna have to agree with the other fellas on this one. If that Subaru is an STI then do NOT run him. Even if it's the regular WRX, he will still probably outrun you w/ the mod's he's done. Those are quick little cars! Seen many an STI here w/ basic mods running in the 11s. CHIP

The subaru is only a wrx with a stick shift, cuda is a 4 speed. I don't know how well the kid can drive it, but this is what I was afraid That I would hear . Any opinions on upgrades to help beat him, I was considering a 750 double pumper/Demonsizzler Thermoquad, a swap to 3.55's or 3.73's and hopefully some bigger tires in the rear.

That makes no sense ...... care to expand? The WRX is AWD, its gotta hook no matter where they race.
As far as what to do to the 340, it needs more gear, more converter and probably more carb before I would say you've got a shot. Short stroke needs to rev, 3.23's aren't the ticket for that.

My other car is a 2002 Subaru WRX. If I drove it hard off the line, its AWD would ensure a killer holeshot on your car on the street OR the track and leave you praying you had enough HP to catch me on the top end. After loooking over your combination, I'd say you don't have it.

I'd think it would be the other way around. Street = terrible traction. either way I don't think you have enough, even if you were in an A-body you'd have an uphill battle. What's your car weigh? 3600-3800? that's a lot of weight for a 340 to move out
