Seriously just spend some money on track or skid pan day and learn to drive it as it is currently. If you do that the car will be faster !

ej255 bottom end is useless for big HP, standard sti ej207 is forged (correct me if i am wrong here) and can handle more boost/hp

MMS put the EJ257 block in and took out the 207. Still ok for mild boost but sad when the 05 was the last great bullet proof cars.

I would surgest you go and talk to MMS and tell them what you want. You will need a bigger turbo for more power.

Also the sti came from the factory with 210ishkw. Thats at the flywheel. You have about 200 or so at the wheels. Meaning about 50kw more than stock.

Fix your clutch first if its slipping rather then spend money to get 300 ponies.

Agreed. Also as has been said. Learn how to drive and use that power! Take it to the track.
