Well with a tune, boost pill, turboback, FMIC, intake, and hardpipes you'll likely be around the 300whp range.

Another vendor was able to achieve 260whp/270wtq (base run of 205whp) with a simple turboback, FMIC, and intake so I dont see why the addition of hardpipes, tune, and boost pill wouldn't put you close to 300whp if not over.

It'll be interesting to see how cams and water injection do on our RA.

We should see slightly less gains with cams as compared to the evos(single scroll vs. twin scroll), but 300+ is very obtainable. Just need to look at the transmission to see if it'll hold with realted torque numbers. Dont see why it wouldn't hold up though.

I am good friends with a mechanic at the Mitsubishi Dealership in Huntsville he has had a couple of evo's and has a ralliart, this is just from hear say and i was even thinking about asking ams about it but i was told by him that ams along with a few other companies have blown the sst on a few ralliarts while testing them. He said that if he recalls the number floating around is 400 hp thats where it blew.

Now im not sure if this is to the crank or actually whp, and remember this is all just hearsay im not sure that any of this is actually legit. But that is what i have heard about the sst. If anyone knows anything else about it i am very curious if this is accurate information.

From what I have heard thus far everything about the SST holding power is around 400hp and thats it. Apparently there are upgrades for the SST in the works but I dont know as to when they will trickle down to us.

its gona be a long time before anyone gets near 400hp on there Ralliart anyway. Im gona have 300hp with every bolt on and flash. 400hp thats not until engine work will we see those numbers. Stop worrying and speculating until someone actually blows it. Its all hear say til then.

I believe, but don't quote me on this. The SST's going limp and slipping from too much torque were cars (MR's and RA's) tuned with the Z-chip. The cars tuned by re-flashing the ECU have yet to hit a torque threshold in which the SST acts up. But like I said I could have missed something.

Plus if 400 is my torque threshold than so be it. The RA at 400 hp/ 400 tq would be a sleeper from hell.

Sorry for the wait on the replies guys! I have been swamped over here making tunes for your Ralliarts

I can do a flash for you VIA email too. Pricing is not finalized nor is the method of doing it. If you can't wait, send me an email or PM and I will get back to you ASAP.

Stage1 numbers do not include any exhaust system, and stage 2 numbers also do not include any exhaust system at this time. All the dyno numbers from our orange Ralliart are with the entire stock turbo-back exhaust installed thus far.

I can flash it in less than 10 minutes! Just make an appointment to stop by and I'm sure we can get you in and out as fast as you need to be! Or, you can come take a tour of the shop and chill out in our super cool waiting room before you go home!

Yes, I can do this for you while you wait, that is no problem! There should be no decrease in MPG's and you might see an increase depending on your driving style.

When ll be the "stage 2 flash" available? w/ intake?
As I said above, definitely no decrease in MPG's unless you can't keep your foot out of the throttle!!! haha.

Stage 2 testing was just completed a couple of hours ago. I just posted the results in our thread for the Orange Ralliart that we are documenting. Very good info in there, I would check it out for sure!

Yes, if you would like to mail-in you ECU, that would be the correct procedure for it. I will also have a mobile laptop that I can send directly to you soon, and I will also be able to do flashes VIA email for those customers that have the necessary equipment.

Hey Chris how does the flash affect the daily drivability? I use mine for work, play and to take the kids to their soccer games.
