also, Japan doesnt have SMOG laws to sidestep, if we didnt have to worry about smog, there would be a whole lot of 300+ hp 2.0L subys out there.

Man, you dork. I was talking about how JDM engines won't break, hence why I put the = in there. :P

Haha, whats up Gordy, the TGVs are pretty restrictive...RA stacks or stacks with the TGVs removed on a WRX would probably net good gains, but then there is the smog problems to deal with with not having the TGVs. And as for the 6 speed...ive decided to either keep it, or first person to offer me my asking price of $6000 gets it. My reasoning is that I really would like to keep it, but that means saving a lot longer to cover the install of everything, so we will see. Let me know if you are still interested through a PM so as not to jack this thread any more

this is totally wrong!! holly...

AVCS won't shift the cam shaft... it just advance and retard the timing.
