Heads?

Could currently pull a stump out of the ground and still do the 0-100 in under 5 seconds. After build ... Can't wait to drive.

Tell Subaru to come test drive it when done and bitch slap them for not releasing something similar as factory!

Well the Foz performed flawlessly. Its a much better dak dak than I am a driver so I just let the dccd pro do the hard work. There is plenty of available power out of the bbk-m but it needs to run more boost which will happen once bottom end gets fixed. The brakes never missed a beat, no fade at all - Project Mu pads FTW ! The 6mt and hd clutch hooked up nicely a couple of times. The AD08's are just awesome and worth every cent.
