Shiv, made one. Check for his stage 1.

If your talking about ralliart ecu, i believe it'll put to up to 305hp like the fq version in the U.K. If or when it comes out it depends on . The biggest issue in any of the modification are warrentee issues. Is it worth killing your warrentee?

Lot of horspower is founded without rasing boost. This tells me the car was 100% tuned for emissions.

Press Cars.

I mean, does anybody really believe an STi S202 with only about 23 more hp over a stock STi can actually crank out a 12.05sec 0-400meter (quarter mile) time?

Cheers,

Red line and fuel cut are 2 different things.
Fuel cut is always several hundred rpm after where the red line starts on the tach.

Ahh, i dont' think my fuel cut works because i just reved it to 7900 rpms. I didn't realize my engine revs that high. The credit for this finding goes to MEGABUSA! Thanks for the heads up.

We need someone to log these runs to 8 grand. Perhaps with computer tweaking we will have a larger area under the curve and have super red line with our hi-performance engine if horspower doesnt' taper off.

Cladius or Jemm? What's your redline or maximum rpms on your evo 6 engines?

Is it faster to shift at 7500 rpms would be the real question.

i knew there had to be a reason for a 9K tach on a car with a 7K redline
