Wow! I didn't think anymore power was possible from just the design! Guess it goes to show factory could have easily raised the output- but decided to keep the motor corked
While I don't think this motor will make as much power as a tuned k20 but seems like it might make a nicer more linear powerband (assuming tq dip gets rectified). I wonder if we'll see 8 to 8.5k rev limit...
Kudos to you guys for all your efforts and diligence!
Anyone who questions nameless' rep should go to nasioc and read up on them. They're highly regarded in the Subaru community.

I think it will make more than K20 minus cams. Most bolt-on and tuned K20's I have seen with stock cams dynoed around 195-200 whp. I think with I/H/E and tuning we might be close. Still good to see some uncorked power as well. I think with the already proven 25-30 whp gain with full exhaust would wake this car up quite a bit.
