For sure! 12.5's in that area made more power and safer for higher boost.

I think I'll have to stop by sometime this year to get my soon-to-have 08 STI's stock tune fixed. I've been looking for an excuse to take a drive through the US and this could be it! I really like what I'm seeing in your other post.

Out of curiosity, are there any concerns about the WRX's gearbox holding 300+lb-ft?
Ya, i figured there would be some guys wondering how our WRX got such high HP. But it is, what it is! If nothing else the difference from our base runs to the final are still the important thing to look at. I know the 07 and the 08 got similar 1/4 mile times, but the 08 also has the Traction control, and i wonder if the magazines turned it on or off?

Come on down! Its a good way to put some more break in miles on the car.

I too am concered with the gears, but according to Jeff Sponaugle they are the same as the RA gearset from old STI's. Also our 08 Hatch is holding up just fine with 390ft-lbs. Its not like it gets flogged like its on the race track, but 3 hours of dyno tuning (320-380 ft-lbs consitently) and a few track sessions at 340ft-bs, its doing very well. In fact it seems to be feeling better.
