thought about the Evo VII for a while but I decided to spend my money on tuning mine to 350horses... still got a long way to go having only just decatted it yesterday but I love the scoobs too much to not have one... Much nicer looking car, IMO (classic shape, that is)

classic scooby IS a fine loking car. dont know whats involved getting one to 350bhp, but i imagine you may have to go internals. evo engine will take far greater punishment. i have standard rods and pistons, and push out (last dyno figure) 402bhp, perhaps a little more (but not much) now that its had map/maf sensor thingy done and a few other bits and a remap of my power fc.
next stage for me is rc stage 4 which involves 25g turbo kit. 480bhp/400lbs/ft on standard internals
and its reliable

bigger turbo, injectors, fuel pump and remap should take it to about 320 / 330 - after that on a UK model the internals will start to go so it's forged piston time etc...
Costs a lot of money but it'll be worth it. If I'm replacing internals might as well keep going past 350....

rumours of easily 800bhp, maybe more
personally i think rc's tuning packages are excellent value for money. i actually got more bhp than i paid for, and havent had a single problem with the car, runs like a dream. if i had a scooby, i'd send it to them aswell. top bunch, fair prices, and care about what they do. only problem is a lot of other people feel this way, hence their phones always engaged, and sometimes theres a bit of a wait to get things done. but well worth it! i wouldnt let anyone else touch my car

RC's demo car is a closed topic spec wise at the moment, but it will show you what you can do with an Evo, ans $hit load of know how, and a very deep pocket.
Clive so i was informed wanted a 1000bhp out of it, and was well on the way to achiving it, but they opted for a 800+bhp package that was soild and reliable as they may well offer it up as a conversion for the evo.....
If you ever manage to see inside the boot of the car, its a thing of dreams....amazing fueling system, coupled to a turbo that would not look out of place on the QE2 and some more trickery internaly ( clive shouted at me last time i was mooching around....waving his hands wildly and screaming SECRET SECRET...lol )..
its gonna be great......
They do honestly care about what they do, and its nice to be called by your name when you go down to see them, not just looked at like a meal ticket like some other developers do.
Subaru wise.."coughs"....ask to see scots WRX ( or whats left of the WRX )........last time they went to map it, they ran out of road to map 5th gear..lmao...
all in all...nice guys ( and gurl had to add that or jenny might left hook me ), fair prices and an A+ service.
all the best

RC did a fair old bit of work on mine:
Apexi PowerFC
Apexi AVCR ( 1.21 bar...keeps things safe )
Apexi Turbo timer
Hks Hyper Exaust system
HKS Super MEtal Flow Induction
HKS SSQV
Evo6 280lt fuel pump
FSE Ajustable fuel pressure reg
Bosch coils
Cusco Strut bars, front upper and lower, and rear upper and lower.
And an RC map for the ecu......MMMmmmmm
if i was you i would go for a strut bar set up...just the upper front and rears made a geat difference to mine..
