That is an interesting note! As I said, I currently have the 4.44 automatic from a 90's legacy I believe and my rpm at 70mph is at the most 3250 rpm and it does accelerate pretty quick. Would you say that the 5mt is weaker than the automatic then? Everything I've read about the MT is that they are stronger! The whole purpose of the swap is because further down the road 4+ years I would like to turbo the SVX.

Unless you like spinning four tires and accelerating like a bat out of hell. 70mph in my Impreza is buzzing along at 3500 rpm. Gets there just fine, though.
