    Well let's see. I see no mentions of a few key items...

    Suspension
    Tires
    Brakes
    Driver Training

    Before even putting 1hp extra on an STi one, should seriously consider the above items. They will help you to become a far faster and safer driver w/o even cranking up the power. This is how I run laps around STis, EVOs, etc at the track with my 05 LGT WAGON. :)

    If you want specifics, I can get into details of what should be done in the above areas.

    If you are slower than an SRT4 with a stock STi, you seriously should look into some driving lessons on track at an Auto-x or HPDE in your area.
