Wow, that's pretty interesting about the magazine articles. I didn't know that... 'course I really don't read the car mags on a regular basis, and I always take those articles with a giant grain of salt, since more often than not they don't really seem to know what they're talking about.

When I was doing my shopping for power mods, I was pretty set on the APS/Cobb setup. The people on I-club started ranting about Vishnu stuff. I guess a lot of people were pretty happy with Shiv's RS-T setup, even tho it was a bit spendy. Anyway, looking at the Vishnu stage 0 setup for the WRX I was impressed. 275hp for about $1000? not bad! 300hp for $3000? That was $1000 cheaper than Cobb's offering, and it was far more local. And I've been pretty impressed and happy with Vishnu since then.

I don't know Cobb's current lineup anymore. I heard they dropped APS? Maybe that'll help them bring down the cost of their stages... Like I said, I dunno their current lineup.

Of course, I don't mean to take away from Cobb at all, I know they're one of the pre-eminant tuners for WRXs. I've got a friend in San Luis Obispo that's planning on going Cobb when he gets his WRX in the fall. And having talked with Trey on a very limited basis a while back, I got the impression that he's a nice and knowledgeable guy. Plus, I have their short shifter... too bad I got it before the double-adjustalbe version came out, hehe.
