More importantly remember the wrx's are very light cars. Their transmissions, flywheels, clutches, etc aren't really up to both high hp and high weight...it's a real stretch..kind of a down grade from the svx tranny What I've been thinking; however, is when the production model of the b11s hits the streets we aught to be able to make a bell housing to use that transmission. It's already designed to support high hp on a heavier car. I'm sure after the need arises the guys who are doing the 5 speed swaps now will come up with something to meet the demand. |

Man its hard to keep track of this post.
Did you say that the stage 2 would actually lay down more power than the supercharged stage 3? |

I can chime in here as my 2000 SVT Lightning uses a Roots type blower. Yes it is intercooled, but as a supercharger compresses intake air (as oposed to exhaust gases as in a turbo) several people have been able to run a roots type blower w/out an intercooler with no ill-effects. The best thing about a Roots blower is that it makes most of it power in the low rpms (<4000 rpms) and this gives drag racers that edge at the starting line. Screw type (centrifugal) superchargers are more efficient, but way more expensive and make the most power in the higher rev band (>4000rpms).

he's right, the roots style blower will take advantage of our motors w/ their low end power as opposed to a turbo or centrifical because they all run to make better high end and our powerband takes a dump at like 5600 so a roots is the most efficient and most powerful w/ out major engine rebuild

The STi trans could handle all the power that our engine could ever produce... Ya wouldn't have to rebuild it... Get this, it isn't even built by Subaru... It's built by some company in Germany from what I hear... However the old STi 5 speed from the version 6 and below are built by Subaru... They are still Very strong tranny's... Also the WRX 5 speed has recieved alot of crap... In most of the cars that I have seen, the tranny's have blown 2nd gear simply because of Abuse... Yes If I wanted to I'm pretty sure that I could go out to my car right now and do a few 6500 rpm clutch drops and maybe blow 1st gear out with the estimated 250hp (flywheel) that I'm making outta my SVX... It is all about how you drive it, really... I have also seen a WRX run a 11.9 1/4 mile on the Stock tranny... It is all about how you shift... Now, sometimes with the way that I drive I would feel a little more comfortable if I had the Forester XT 5 MT in it but hey that just makes me not drive quite so hard, and probably has saved me from a few tickets...
