I'm an engineer. I can read diagrams and schematics. I can do work and troubleshoot things. I *could* do it myself. If I need to understand what to look for or at when something goes wrong, I'm sure I could figure it out. So, how often do things go wrong then? This is exactly what has me worried, because I almost get the sense that you guys talk about it like it's weekly.

His response was based on you saying "mfgs basic tune". Not sure if you mean the factory OEM tune or one of the tunes provided with the SC.
Almost any SC you pick (with a proper tune) will make the 86 faster than a stock WRX.
You don't "need" any supporting mods to achieve that.
I was putting down a bit over 250whp with a c30 JRSC and no other supporting mods. You don't need an upgraded clutch at that level.
It wasn't any extra work to maintain. Very minor things like checking the rotrex traction fluid level, belts and making sure clamps are still properly tightened.
As far as "feel" goes... You'll just have to drive one and decide for yourself.
It's easier for me to get a sense of how fast it is by reading a dyno graph than it is driving it.
A SC'd 86 will probably feel underwhelming or not as fast compared to a WRX just due to the low end torque it has, but it's top end suffers whereas the SC is just starting to make most of its power.
