That's $3299 not £'s would seem feasible with the STi05USDM 2.5Ltr I wounder how many kit's would need to be "Wipped off" quickly

that torque curves a bit mental isnt it???

youve got **** all at 3500rpm, then 400+lb at about 4500!!!

looks a bit odd to me, either that or youll be needing a new spine after each "flooring"

The dyno graphs say it all, total crap, whats the point in having all that power within a 500 rpm range then it tails off as soon as its come in
