Stage 2 setup. Invidia catted downpipe, factory SPT exhaust, Cobb Stage 2 map at the moment. I had a Cobb SF intake on it but Mike said I would not need it since I was sticking with the stock fuel system. I will be putting on and AVO Top mount intercooler and a AVO high flow stock location panel filter for the tune. Mike also suggested a Grimmspeed boost controller which I will put on on Monday right before the tune.
I briefly thought about doing the injectors and fuel pump which would net me close to another 30 HP but I have done a ton of research and found that if you want to drive hard things give out north of 300 HP. I figured I'd keep it fairly safe at 260 to 270. I would love to hit 270 on Monday.
I may do injectors and a fuel pump after the warranty is out. I'd like to turn 12.7 on the strip. There are some guys (good drivers) doing 12.9 at stage 1 so I don't think 12.7 is unrealistic.
I live 2 hours east of you off of 86. We go to Erie now and then.. Probably going to kayak Presqueisle once the weather turns.

I will also be visiting mike in the spring to go stage 2 =)
I have a swp 08 wrx. Mike did my stage 2 tune. My mods are in my sig and its currently put away for the winter so I can do a VF52 swap, 1000cc injectors, fuel pump, 3in turbo inlet, and TGV deletes.
