Celica STX, Different performance wise? Options

[Justin]

I have a friend who was just givin an stx coupe. He says that it does come with a different stroke and cams. I didn't belive him, so , he took me for a ride. He only has an intake and that thing pulls way harder than my st. For even more testing, I raced him. To my surprise he won by a 3/4 to 1 carlength. I have full exhaust with no cat and a resonator. He also said it has different gearing, but I did'nt pay attention to where he shifted in my ride along. He also said it comes with stiffer suspension and that it came from the factory with an unclearcoated front bumper. Also his is like 190 something of like 250. So, uh, I'm really confused.

I almost forgot, his timing is advanced. I don't know by how much, but it still should have been a closer race. We both started from a roll in 2nd at the same speed at the same time and he pulled almost a car. Well, maybe my timing is really crappy. I advanced mine today. I'm not sure by how much though because I did it blind with no timing light and just made sure it did't knock. btw my distributer is turned as far advanced as possible yet the idle is only a little worse.
