Um, I thought the 2.5 RS was naturally aspirated, not turbocharged... Do you mean the STi??? The STi gets 300 HP

you can get more than that, but you need proper engine management.

Is that proven on your car? I know that's what they claim with thier kit, but it looks like you should have more than their kit claims...

Stick a WRX engine in there and you'll be running easy 13s.

agree..I would save the money and have I-speed do a wrx swap for you...less pain of the pocket in the long run.

hmm... I don't. Of course, I have a turbo-ed 2.5

You can create a VERY reliable turbo RS setup (however it's not legal in most states... a wrx swap is).
It does require a good EMS.
So for about 5K total you can do it....
How much is an I-speed swap?
