I’ve made knock offs of that system for alot less too :lol You don’t see major benefits from it until you start pushing decent power and/or bump the redline up around 8500. Biggest benefit comes from having custom cams made to work with higher rpm limits, and the airflow change of an ITB setup. EG33 thrives on setups like this. ---

Yeah, even my TWM’s were a lot less than even half that. And I definitely hear ya about the cams, theyve been on my list for years. I havent been too aggressive to get them made but I know damn well that my setup wont see its potential until I do, along with my planned headwork/valvetrain.

Nitrous isn’t bad to tune you just have to play it safe. I don’t know how hard it is to get to the plugs on one of these but that may be an obstacle for nitrous tuning. A 50 or 75 shot would be plenty. Just got to have a full throttle switch, RPM window switch, and fuel pressure shut off. ---

I would like to use this post to thank 2 people. First off is my dad for giving in to my plans to build this car, even after what happened to my previous car. I know we paid a little more than the car was technically worth, and i really appreciate getting this car even though she was rough to start, and not totally worth what we paid. I appreciate everything he has done for me, especially helping me out with a lot of the finances, one of them being the shop time and little things like fuel filters, oil, spark plug wire, ETC. being in the business REALLY helps this out. Also, having to pay your employee, even though you aren’t making any money from it. I literally couldn’t have asked for a better dad ![http://www.rs25.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif](http://www.rs25.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif) (although im sure you knew it was coming…look at your childhood and your first son ![http://www.rs25.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif](http://www.rs25.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif) ) 2nd is my dad’s employee Bill. Sure. Hes getting paid to do his job, this isnt the first Subaru motor hes pulled out and apart. But he still had to deal with me and all my crazy shit and being all excited about it 😛 Im sure i annoyed the shit outta him, and i just want to say thank you for all the help, hell thanks for practically everything that had to do with this. I literally couldn’t have done it without you. ---
