Hey Trolley...feel free to contribute something positive at any time..... :-)

Thanks Kato. I know that it doesnt seem that probably that there is much benefit to the change either but I at least want to consider and explore the idea before writing it off. If I knew that the strut brace would still fit then I would give it a go and run the base line pull with both before tuning for the new one. I expect that the strut brace wont clear though and handling is going to take priority over power.

I must admit that my old GC8 never gave the feeling of heat soak power drop after standstill to the same level that the GRB does.

And for the record...I have owned a WRX since 2000. I am not a newbie.
