Seeeeeeee Yaaaaaaaa!!!
subaru always understate the output from their cars. a friends hawkeye wrx which is meant to be summit like 230bhp (subaru say) put down 256bhp on rollers completely standard.
also, never underestimate the output that can be easily achieved for mods like an exhaust system. ive also seen a 2.0l blobeye wrx put down 272bhp being completely stock apart from a 2.5" decat system. standard subaru quoted at 225bhp
dont suppose you know what yours is putting out now do you mate and on what rollers?

no rollers can be that far out. honestly mate, subaru do understate the power output from their cars. they probably copy and paste it from the american brochure where the cars run on 90Ron 
the rollers we generally use are at motorscope in northallerton (p104 of the current total impreza magazine ) they are a reputable company that do get their rollers regularly serviced.

We have a much more local rolling road setup up this way, that people seam to struggle to get "big figures" from.
But nobody seams to like using them for some strange reason.
Rolling roads, i have been going to various ones since i was 17, same old bollocks everytime, a 330/330 from the "hard" set of rollers will slaughter a 330/330 car from the pusscake set.
The ones that give the figures that people want, seam to be the ones that people seam to go back to
Personally i prefer the hard ones, as you know its the real deal, and if its not? well your car is even more powerful then you thought.
I saw people who supposedly had "fast scoobies" look stunned when they saw my old classic shift with around 400lbft (measured on the hard rollers) because the pusscake rollers had told them they thier own car was running 350lbft and "50lbft could not make that much difference could it?"
No it couldn't, but i suspect the difference is more then 50lbft
I even had simpleton spackers trying to mock me because my power figure was not as high as some others, yet the car was like a fooken rocket and used to spin 4 wheels when exiting roundabouts (and it was all whitelined up in the chassis dept, including wheel alignment settings)
I would have probably been crowned a god if i had of went to the "other rollers" but i never saw the point
