I may be wrong,(and it wont be the 1st time) but it feels flat after 6000k because it makes all 300HP @6000RPM and torque @4000RPM. You just take it to 7000RPM so when you shift, you can keep it in the sweet spot. The good thing is it comes w/ a 6-speed so it's easier to keep in the sweet spot.

Am I wrong Sean?

I think its even lower for the HP like 5600rpm which makes sense. I guess I just thought that above 6k there would be something to smile about, but all Im thinking is DAMN HOW DID I GET TO REDLINE SO QUICK!

Just picking up Palabans Blitz. Might go with the Profec e-01 after reading a bit more about it. I like some of what it can do, but need to actually have a clue (yeah like that will happen) before I buy it.

Just hit 1K today so only opened it up a few times. As mentioned you feel the most between 4-6K and it starts to flatten out. It's just nice now to not have to shift into the next gear at 4K. I find myself shifting around 4-5K most of the time and agree with Dan, the only reason hold to redline would have the RPMs up when you hit the next gear.

Actually I set it to 5.5K after that. Redline comes very quickly and figured I needed to allow time for it to beep.

Well, my TT was installed today. Same place that installed my alarm hooked it up for me so it works flawless with the alarm. I'd really like to get my gauges installed, but I'm thinking about having someone do them (Speedgear or Sonic) since I don't have a lot of time. I painted my Defi pod and I'm waiting for a Subaru part for the oil pressure sensor (Main Gallery Plug). I also need to pick up the correct size T for the boost tap since Omori doesn't send the correct size. Still debating if I should just have the gauges wired into the clock with no dimming (easy way out) or figure out a way to get them to work with the stupid ground control dimming system that Subaru's use. Any suggestions on this?

Once my gauges are installed maybe we can bolt up my Vishnu turboback from the Wagon and see if it works.
