i wish i knew more about the live characteristics of the FB20. I made 103awhp in my unmodded 03 legacy wagon with EJ251 PhaseII. Some have claimed as high as 170awhp with CAI/EL-H/Ex/Cams and 190awhp with additional 2.2 DOHC head+STI H/G to bump compression up to 11.2 and SAFC. Given that the cars drivetrain loss is roughly 20% the car is making 228hp with all those mods.

Some key elements that helped the EJ251 gain power for some tuners was, higher compression, thermal efficiency, unobstructed airflow.

If the FB20 does make 200hp (170rwhp), i just wonder how much more power could you pull out if they have already fixed some of those key elements.
