no idea i don't drive like that. Primarily my daily driver and i dont beat on it excessively. I can say there is much more power throughout the curve. Most evident is on the highway. It's a blast to drive now.

running like a champ! no problems except this f'in annoying exhaust leak that i can't seem to get rid of. right where the header meets the test pipe there is a leak. tried a new gasket and that didn't help either. I think i bent the test pipt a couple of millimeters from the engine movement and now it doesn't line up the same. Going to try some high temp gasket putty tonight and let it sit. hopefully that helps.

Gas mileage is between 28-30 overall so not bad. pretty much the same when i was at 5psi with the KW supercard and 195cc injectors. Maybe 1-2 mpg more but who's counting.

today i actually kept time with a stock previous gen WRX (not an STI) on the palisades. couldn't pass me even in open road. Now 0-60 would probably be different (in his favor i would think) but i do most of my driving on the highway so that is where i want the power. plus i'm not 18 anymore looking to race people all the time.

Overall my fit hauls ass (for an A/T) MUCH faster than stock or 5psi. No problems with the tune either. No check engine lights. eventually i would like to get it tuned by a pro but i'm in no hurry.

Glad to hear it! I'm wondering if I could get similar results with my AT kit and it's smaller Rotrex... Might have to bug the guys in Lance's shop!

Any issues at all now that everything is running better?

CEL's? What about belt clearances?

There seems to be an epidemic of people moving from systems like the Supercard & Greddy E-manage Ultimate over to the AEM platform with much better results.

im sure we could.. i think we'd just have more torque because it would reach full boost faster.. he would have more hp

Nope. no cel's and the belt clearance is WAY better with the smaller belt. Now i don't need to have the alternator shoved against the radiator to stop the belt from rubbing.

AEM F/IC FTMFW!

I would guess so. it's already spinning faster with the smaller pulley you are just restricting the air. But i really can't say for sure you would have to try it out and hope for the best like i did.
