UPDATE: Decided to switch to 2.5L platform.
I've been doing as much research as I can for an upcoming build. Trying to slowly amass the parts I need for my desired goals. I'd like to attempt 350 whp range. (Mustang Dyno in Cincinnati Ohio area) From what I've read this setup should put me in the area. Yes I am familiar with that much power and am sure I want it. Figured I would state that before the "Are you sure you want 400 hp" thread pops up. It's a nice thread and all but I am sure.
I plan on running the stock WRX 5spd until it dies. I do understand that if abused the transmission will not think twice about grenading. (Unsure about going with the 6spd or heavier gears. Haven't researched that enough yet. Also would like to drive a 6spd from an STI first.)
Let me know if I'm missing something or there's a better route. Feel free to suggest different brands.
Currently have:
Unknown brand Turboback exhaust.
Unknown brand up pipe
Cobb AP
Engine.
Intending to go with a 2.1 stroker setup as what I've seen is the general consensus on hybrids is bad.
