Running one of their Stock Location GTX3076R's on my Closed Deck 2.5, made 477Bhp an 440 lbs ft at 1.6 Bar. Would make more with more boost.

Been on the car over 2k miles now and has been good as gold. They're quality items.

nice that looks pretty punchy there. I guess the six speed gbox makes it feel faster too? Also doesn't the STI have a variable cam system? I wonder how much that helps.
myself I'm just rocking the normal ej205 wrx heads on a brand new ej207 with 0.8mm cosworth head gaskets and ARP studs.. I don't reckon mine would feel quite as good esp with the own 5 speed gbox.. which wouldn't cope with the extra power anyhow really.
right now it's on a vf35 and it makes about 13psi at 5000rpm creeping to 14 through the rest of the rev range.
