QFT. Although with light mods, it's a pretty minor performance hit.

I came from an STI into my SS. And unless (and maybe even with) he has a tune with those light mods, you'll probably be fine from that speed. If it was from launch, I'd say forget it.

Beware of the tune though. I did only a full turboback, uppipe and tune on mine and I gained about 60 awhp. Those stock tunes are pretty conservative.

On the plus side, he didn't do like I used to... "You want to race? Ok, you pick the time, I'll pick the road..."
