Nah, all the experts say that SVT engines are good for about 300hp without mods. Im only aiming for 230-250ish. Im already doing prep work to make sure my engine is in good shape.

They can take 11psi (stage 2 also on the stock motor) the reason mike was running low boost i think he didnt have the stage 2 clutch.

The wrx had a go pro but mistearously the video of his deafeat disappeared somehow lol. (Right click =>trash can lol)
