I've heard that the STi RA Cams are more aggressive compared to the regular STi. If anyone can confirm that, it would be great. I think on SIMERS build page, he said that they have a "IN 242, EX 248] [BIG intake ports] [sodium filled EX valves]"
And I know that FujiK has done a thread on the heads,
FujiK's Ver6 Head Port Gallery and they definitely are the BIG PORT heads. Is this just the Ver6? Or both 5&6?
Also, does anyone know if there is a difference between the Type-R & RA? Besides Sedan & Coupe
"Version 6 STi has a Open deck block, a VF28 ball bearing turbo, Yellow top Side feed injectors, Big port heads and some very trick forged pistons. They also have the same very unreliable MAF as the Ver 5 and 99 RS." -Scoobie Steve
