you're shortshifting real bad.. times would improve a lot if you revved it out more.

If you saw the dynograph for this motor, you would know why. Having WRX EJ20 cylinder heads on it gives us higher compression, but the top-end HP suffers. I have put all the dyno data into a thrust calculator that determines the best shift points for the motor.

Approx. 2,850lbs with a 6-point roll bar. It is a road-legal car.

Nice, a bit of a question, I plan on trying to get my hands on a 2002 Impreza WRX non sti. Will the cosworth 2.5L or any other 2.5L short block engine bolt right into the 2.0L WRX Impreza? Will I need the 6 speed from the Sti to do the swap? And btw that is one mean ass subie ya got there lol, mean acceleration. o_O

The 2.5L and 2.0L are interchangeable. We didn't even need to modify our older Impreza to install a 2.5L (just had to install the correct wiring harness). The STi 6-speed is not required, but it's much stronger than the 5-speed.
