i-Club - The Ultimate Subaru Resource

Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

hp / cost ratio
hey sorry this is probably a repost but couldn't find anything in search... but my question is for the 2.5 RS, which mods give the most amount of HP for the least amount of money?

i'm looking forward to buying my first mod, but don't have much money so i want to make sure i get the best bang for the buck.

if you could do the work your self then get cams ground for cheap($250) that would give the best bang for the buck

remember for cams your idle will be bouncing around, probably not best if you live in California because of smog
