I think that engine management would be a nice power gain for little money spent.

What type of suspension mods do you have on your car? Tires?

Also, for $700 a guy could have a pretty wild time in Vegas for a day or two.

f' all that, just lend me the money and i'll make it worth awhile....haha jp

if i were you i'd start on my suspension then start messin with engine management. for what i see, wrx has pretty decent hp already from stock. i'd would want to have better control and stability before adding more hp's to the wheels.

AP and find a STI catless uppipe or get a gutted OEM pipe from someone (unless you want to do it yourself).

Or...get a rear sway bar and endlinks and a downpipe/uppipe.
