2.0 vs 2.5 wrx engines
is either engine stronger than the other or easier to get more power out off?
currently looking at 2 wrx's but wouldn't mind getting more power at a later date

Which engine holds the quickest 1/4 mile time for a stock bottom end Subaru?

So a 60% increase over stock?
A 2.0 WRX will do 330bhp with a VF35 and a few supporting mods. You'll need a bigger turbo for 350 I'd imagine.
