Can someone be kind enough to explain to me "running lean up top" and "running lean"? What's that mean?

but if ur running really slow i'd do this..
change to synthetic oil... and most importantly, if u installed ur intake urself, or even had a shop do it, and its like one of the newer one peice injen intakes its possible that u damaged or dirtied ur MAS, which would make ur car not throw in very much fuel, especially at WOT... i'd search for a MAS cleaner and see how that works for u

i raced and evo before and would get beat but i raced one the other night and i kept up with him and then we dipped in traffic and i got infront of him and he couldnt pass me..so i guess something was wrong with my car with all that stuff on.

it was from a roll on...i dunno if u read all the posts....but it was like a civic stock with 3 wheels racing a hyabusa** very imaginative** but u get the idea...we just went on a roll where he took off in front of me and then we wenti almost rolled thru his exhuast sytem and saw what kind of gas he was using in his car......but now he turned his car back 2 stock pretty much and his car is faster...there must of been something wrong with his car not reacting to modding...i think it was his crawford plenum....
he has 19's and i have 20"s
he has nismo intake i have aem
he has headers and y pipe i have jsut mufflers
he has coilovers i have springs
he had 10 wire ground kit i have 5 wire
he had crawford plenum i have painted engine cover...lol
it should of been much closer than what it was....its ok tho his next car is gunna be a factory animal....YOOOOOO wheres the S4???

They're in the 93-95mph range. A G35 6MT should see 98-99mph easily. MPH is the indication HP. ET is the indication of traction.
As for the new 2.5T WRXs, they are pretty stout, but they're not that much quicker than the old 2.0T models. I have a friend that totaled his 12.5 second 04 STi and he purchased an 06 WRX. In stock form is did a 14.1@95mph with a 1.85 60 foot. That's hardly impressive to neither him nor I. He added an STi turbo, turboback, injectors, and a piggyback ECU. With $2500 in mods, the car now runs a more respectable 12.9s@104mph.

thats very good infomation to consider, however as I mentioned, the time was rated against a 6mt, which meant on a 5AT he was driving should not be too surprised to lose against a stock WRX.
Either way it makes no sense to even be bothered by which gear he's losing by, he should have raced against the same car and see if it has a real problem. Other than that, there is not enough time in the world to find many cars faster than the G in different gears.

2nd: 6mt has higher hp, lower tq than AT. This means you may take off quicker, but he'll catch you in the long run.
3rd: Get a frickin tune. With the type of mods you have, you're really killing yourself without properly tuning it. You need to think about BALANCE. Too much backpressure makes intake mods useless, and not properly tuning the car means you're probably leaned out due to the extra air coming in, without adjusting the amount of fuel.
Edit: Heh, just noticed the date.
