I was trying to see which intake setups would work best but ironically, the black intake manifold has shown to give me better times and speed down the strip. 14.6 vs a 14.8 and 96mph vs 94(before Wayneroms help). I'm not really surprised, I think the red manifold has the same effects the BPBs do, stockish cars amazing but full bolt on cars really need all the top end they can get.
I think I'm going to just throw the turbo kit on. I do enjoy the car all-motor, I even recently purchased the 4.56 final drive which I think would complete the all-motor experience for sure but all the R&D is kind of taxing ie. $200 an hour on a dyno, which intake is best, which IM is best, back and forth to the track etc etc.
I/H/E, E85 and the FD swap are the ticket, that's been proven. With the FA24 blocks becoming more readily available, that's honestly the way to go. There's about to be some real supra killers roaming these streets here soon, might direct my efforts that way for a bit.

It may be the heat playing a bigger factory than anything else. The red IM would be super heat soaked after waiting even a couple of minutes in the staging lanes. The lone back to back dyno I saw of the black vs red IM shows less fall off than the black in the upper rpms 7k+ but is its heat soaked from idling you'd be down on power. I extrude honed my MY17 IM and bored out the oem TB 2mm. Its damn near like E85 on top of E85 ~10-12whp If I had to guess. But...I'm in over $1200 in my little project.lol I really want a 4.56 gear set too
but after I saw how much they were all said and done I said well maybe later.
I wouldn't hold your breath on the FA24 blocks man. There's no guarantee that our heads would line up well enough to make it a viable option. Plus they have way lower compression. I think people are hoping for a k20/24 fighter but remember its a Subaru.
