Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking engine swap, and assumed a beefier transmission to go with it. Initially, I think STI power would be great. I don't want to jump right into 400+hp. From what little I know, I can do bolt-on upgrades to go beyond 300 at the crank if I want to. That way I can ease into performance Subaru w/o hurting myself or my car.
As for a local shop, I talked to a guy here. I live in Clarksville, TN, which is about 45 minutes north of Nashville on the KY state line. He talked a good game, but I checked up on him online, and he seems pretty shady. His shop is called Modified Import Repairs. I am thinking Nashville should have some shops that could take care of me.
Budget-wise, I would like to stay under 10k for the initial engine/trans swap. From here, I realize it is up to me to start researching reputable shops, and I need to check the forums. I am not in a rush, so I have time on my side. Thanks again!
