Did you read my post? I'd think a 60-80hp gain with the current setup if it's just a bolt-on. What I was disagreeing with was that 600hp at the crank is by no means crazy and shouldn't require all that exotic engine work.

I don't think a 250awhp stock tranny SVX will be that fast to be honest with you. A WRX with that much power is probably ok, an RS would be pretty fast, but an SVX is heavy and stock auto FTL.

The traditional things you save up money for I already have taken care of...mainly because of luck and good fortune. So, I see nothing wrong with dumping money into making the SVX into what it should have been in the first place =D

You sound like me, except I have no money right now.
