    Good for you all- glad to see the 15-21 community strong.
    Take advantage of that FMIC mod that you did early-- really only needed for 400+ WHP, but at that point you're looking to internals.
    Like stated I do not think you're making much past 300 tq. If its an e-tune it's estimated.
    Go e85/blend from here.

      Thanks man! It’s pro tuned by Mike but it is an e tune and he did a virtual dyno log which is not 100% accurate but it’s pretty close and came out to 298 whp and 326 tq

      Yeah man, as I’ve gotten better at filming I’ve also gotten better with getting people warmed up to the camera better. Something I didn’t learn before this video. Crazy how much human psychology really goes into filming like this and you can really see it evolve as the video goes on. Thanks for watching man

    hey man. i have the cobb big sf air intake on my car. i had it on for a year and had my car tuned by mike also. i just recently started having issues with my car not starting sometimes and what i mean by that is it will start but die right away or at low rpms it will want to stall. i put the stock air intake back on and went stock and its running better and starts.

    My focus st hybrid turbo is making more than your subi at 320whp. I thought wrx were faster than that and made more power on stock internals

    • @rileypaynestewart
      @rileypaynestewart  11 місяців тому +1

      Nah man focus st’s are faster bro. I have an ST as well. Subies will probably put a decent lead off the line though with the AWD

    360 tq seems like a lot for stock internals. I’ve heard that anything past 320ish is when you run into issues with rods bending. Does he plan on building the engine if it grenades?

      @@saladmotorsports4604 that’s pretty good, my Sti is currently tuned at 286 whp 322 wtq. That was on Cobb redline intake and a catback. Since then I’ve installed an iag oil pan kit, koyorad radiator, cylinder 4 mod, Cobb aos, and a Cobb bpv. I will be getting a retune in the next couple weeks because I changed to a different exhaust and am adding a Grimmspeed top mount. Hoping to get alil closer to 300whp.

    did you tune it yourself? if so was it difficult? i’m purchasing this car soon a 2019-21 wrx and i just want a loud stage 1 burble tune not really for the performance i just want it loud and the pops and burbles but was it hard to tune coming from someone that’s never tuned or modded a car this will be my first

      ...actually, wheel gap is fine if/when the car is set up properly. I believe all of the "no finger" crowd is doing it wrong. Dumped on coils is never the right answer.
