You could always drop an innovate SC kit on it and tune it up.

I had run the Hydra EMS at Road Altana in NA form but by the time we finished installing the FA20Club turbo kit I had one day/night to tune the Hydra to turbo power and a new fuel system. A healthy does of power was needed to compete with some big bore cars!

The Element Tuning Scion FRS/Subaru BRZ takes on the Whelen US TT championship with NARRA at NJ Motorports. On it's first outing takes the win running a 1:29.4 with a little drama.

Here are two videos, one in car and one from an earlier session being followed during our setup races.

Nice the FR-S platform has some serious potential...

Fucking amazing. Now that's good customer service the way it needs to be done. Tony has been a big support of mine over the last few months. I'm glad to see this kind of help being done for others.

Guys sorry been really busy and didn't even see this post but that was funny! I honestly haven't scratched the surface with what we can do with this 60 Trim and the Hydra but so far even limiting our power output it's really impressive.

First and foremost I'm good at torture testing and that's what we are doing with the Hydra, base maps, the FA20Club kit, and all the parts on our car. This will give us and customers the confidence in buying these products.

A product is only as good as the support and development it receives from the company selling it. Because of this Hydra EMS and I have decided that I need to fully develop a number of base maps before releasing the EMS. Most tuners are usedto tuning from OEM and making minor adjustments and not experienced as a calibrator starting with all zeros. I'm at the point now where I torture tested the NA mapping at Road Atlanta taking the Global Time Attack win and now 3 wins with the FA20Club kit.

I've talked with a few well known tuners and I'll likely work with them first to get them up to speed and make sure the Hydra, their tuner, and the kit mesh nicely! So far from the issues I hear others are having and I'm not with the Hydra so I think it will be a big hit. Regardless it will be a steep learning curve for many but I will be available to help and travel where required to make sure everyone gets dialed in!

I think it's just nice to finally have an option and anyone that has me tuning their car can get a Hydra today.

Come by, I'll give you a ride and you will want it all Plus having me near by is a no brainer when purchasing a Hydra. Happy to also get you up to speed if you want to be more involved in tuning it.
