There's a reason many JGTC Toyotas still run 3SGTE's (GT4/MR2 Turbo motor), same idea - old school iron block that can take abuse, and has a much higher performance envelope when you can take advantage of it.

I remember reading something from AMS that says they think the new motor is better than the 4G63 and they see no problem making the power they used to...doesn't sound plausible to me what, what do I know...
Thanks Kevin, I guess I was just referring to the high revving motor as able to spin the massive turbo's that evo owners run. Which is sort of irrelevant because Subies run big turbos, but I just figure it a GT35R spools at 4k then it should hold that power all the way to the 8k rev limiter vs the STi's 6.5k. But the subies flow more air with a 2.5l so i guess its a trade off.
I think I am going to leave this thread before I prove my incompetence...
