Default 2.5 or 2.1 stroker?

will a ej25 with stock internals safely handle 400/400? If it will i dont have to go down the route of forged. And 2.5 conversion is cheaper.

Might want to go for a set of forged pistons in the 2.5 at that level standard rods will be fine.

No ! Otherwise Subaru UK would have a 400 bhp PPP kit NOT a 330 bhp PPP kit as is available now....

Sorry !

P.S. Will 360 bhp / 400+ ft.lb.s do ? That's do-able.... IMHO

Sorry to be pedantic, but that must be a built short block yes? just for those who think the block is special! ( it isn't )
