Similar, however you have a 3" inlet and your hotside is slightly larger.

This is a 2.4" inlet and 7cm hotside.

I actually had ringlands cracked on #1 and #4, burnt exhaust valve guides and seals, and my factory crank was out of spec on the #4 rod journal. (Crank was milled incorrectly from Subaru, no spun bearings or evidence of any type of damage.) Yay!

Probably not anytime soon, not into drag racing or 1/4 mile stuff really. I'll probably be up there this fall for a track day or 2 but that's probably about it.

If there was a huge group going I'd maybe be up for it once just to see how it does, but other then that probably not.

Yea, and I am on stock headers, catted downpipe, internal wastegate, and greddy evo 2 catback which is pretty restrictive.

I think you'll be in the 450 range easily.
