I have the STi non RA gearset in my MT and the rev range is good for around town driving. Especially good is the 5-3 downshift for passing at highway speeds. I'm not sure if 3rd is different from regular WRX trans or not...I think it is.

I'm planning to do the MAF bypass mod to see if that helps out at all. I'll let you know my results. I was also perusing through the thread about using dual runner intake with a single MAF and some sort of signal multiplier coming off the MAF. Sounds interesting. I'm curious as to how the ECU would handle voltages higher than the max MAF voltage. Can it handle that at all without Stage 2 programming?

I'd like to buy stage 2, but it's just so expensive. We'll see. I can get a Z32 MAF for a good price, so I may have to do it.

By the way, Earthworm, I'm jealous that yours pulls strong to 6500 One day...yes...one day mine will also pull strong to redline.

Anybody else...how's the 6000 RPM + range feel?
