yes i made that whole site including the pictures and all the text and i also build all the motors.... and do all the reaserch... thanks for looking. Axispower racing just buys my motors from me and sells them as their own...... no wait..... they actually do their own reaserch and build/tune/everyting their own motors.... i must have been thinking of another vendor in this thread

It is trivial...
the reason tq and hp cross at 5252 is because hp is a calculation that is derived from tq when multiplied (or is it devided?) by 5252. because of this, hp/tq will *always* intersect at 5252.
anyway, the reason those lines don't cross at 5252 is because the second line is not a value of tq, it looks like it is a/f ratio. or some other reading.
of course, I was looking at the second dino sheet, but the first one has two different scales.... that does it too :P

Yes, there are differences on the inside as well.
I have not been able to get a good look at the internals of the us sti heads except for the cams. I guess I better order one up and check it out. I would suspect the ports are a compromise of wrx and spec c, meaning bigger than wrx but smaller than spec c. BUT I might be wrong on this having never actually looked at the ports on the us sti heads.
The us sti heads are setup to take avcs on the exhaust cams as well. Subaru is going to go to this setup very soon, maybe as early as next year. The castings are complete, they just need to work out the electronics.
Also, for those with 04 wrx's, you already have shimless buckets installed in your stock heads. Subaru did this in 03 everywhere else, and finally did it here as well this year. The buckets are fine for mild cam upgrades and higher rev limit, but can be expensive to replace when the time comes for valve adjustments.
I am trying to find a local wrx owner with a stg 4 and fmic who will let me swap in a 2.5sti block onto stock wrx heads with us sti cams. I want to see how far we can push it with nothing other than a block swap and matching cams. It seems that most people who are swapping blocks are also swapping turbos at the same time. Think your vf34 or 22 spools late on the 2.0? Imaging what it would do on a higher compression 2.5. Maybe faster than stock turboed wrx and make more boost to boot. Torque is where it's at.
Btw, I would do this on my personal car, but my wife likes driving it the way it is, so.....
