Thanks to Kartboy. Power Mod Number one is on the way. Prototype Kartboy BRZ Pulley. Loosing 4lbs of rotating mass should speed up the Revs a bit. Not huge but every little bit helps. I should be able to install this and notice a bit of pickup, I hope. . Other Powermods in the future include:
-Header with high-flow cat
-Lightweight exhaust, midpipe
-intake: Has to have proven results.
-Some type of engine management: Cobb or Open Source
-Tune (maybe E85 with some other mods)

when it is all said and done, All this should render about 200 WHP or so with about 180 Torque..

Right now an OS Giken Rear 1.5 way diff is planned, but I am not sure it needs it because I am not lifting the inside wheel...it is very planted.

Did you put any thought into Header with no cat, replace the secondary cat with a race cat? Or am i thinking of the exhaust wrong...

You going to be doing the Nameless catted header? I haven't heard of any other company making a catted header besides them so far. (I had that header on my car for a few weeks. looooved it)

Rules say you can replace a 2 cat system with 1 high flo as long as its 6in from the Original....which would be the 'overpipe' according to Nameless's definition.. which its hard to put a cat in that section of exhuast..

Tainen.... Only game in town for now...have to see what else develops.. Nameless is at the top of my list so far tho..

"6" from the original cat," which refers to the second cat in this context. Their catted downpipe has a high flow cat in the stock location, which fits the bill.

So, a catless header is ideal if used with a catted downpipe.

[mrazny]

What he said. This is from the manual in the section for checking/replacing the spark plugs. They are calling the "joint pipe" what nameless is calling the downpipe. Through the Nameless website I'm not finding a exhuast manifold / header style piece, just this catted downpipe.

Which means, this sytem will give you what it can give you, and a full header should be able to give you more, unless you have a line on a product that isn't listed on the website.

Agency Power either rolled out their header or they're taking orders for it. Pics up on on their site too...

FWIW, I sell KW. I sold Bill his. I run them too. And all that kind of information is part of the deal with me. Being that others sell the same items, I can't exactly tell everyone what it's already cost me about $30k to learn between buying the car (which I did to develop setups and parts on) the coil-overs, the wheels, the tires, etc.....

I hate to be coy, but that's kind of how the world works now. I will try and have some video up of a track day I did today sometime maybe this week so you can see how the car works (and prove I'm not an imbecile).

[Scooby South]

What an awesome, awesome day......Local autocross today, Car was pretty much flawless, Handling wise, I only adjust air pressures all day long. Ended up 3rd overall for RAW time...and 2nd Overall For Index time.. Video later.. For now:
