7s will be fine though. They are a mild boost/power increase to high boost/big power increase upgrade anyway. Gap them to about 0.65mm and everything should be boodiful. Because they run colder, then can only help anyway! (i.e. if/when combustion temps. start to get marginal).

Plus don't really cost any more than 6s, to boot.

I ran 7s in my old '93 WRX, running 282/273 - no issues. As do I in my 384/349 STi 5. As do many other members on here.
