First off get rid of the nos unless you want a detonated motor

I suppose 11's would be easier with the torque from the ej25t. You could probably accomplish this with the highoutput kits for 430whp?? bhp?? i forget.

Kits you may want to look at are easystreet and xcelleration for just the numbers on times. I think easystreet guarentees some hp figures with their tuned blocks. Majorly expensive though.

Btw easystreet's wrx is that red thing on the homepage

You can do what you are looking for on the stock ej257 block, but it must be tuned perfectly.

I would drop the nos, unless you plan on running less than 75 shot. Stock ej 257 pistons don't like it very much.

axispower ron,25 to 35 psi if that with-in reason also somthing like a 2.5 motor,for the torque,or if a 2.2 would work i know it all cost cash but like everyone the most bang for the buck,but i do want better rods and pistions.but also keep in mind i would use this thing on the street but i would understand the varibles fuel being a major one.i also understand that the higher the boost also the fuel grade must be better.

With as much power as your asking driving on the street could be pretty tedious. I remember driving a friends hoped up wrx on just a level 2 stage system and i can say that the car was more than happy to instantly put you over the desired speed limited.

Just something to consider... i dont know though maybe you can get used to the explosive power its sure to produce
