probably, but it's not a cheap unit and won't be a cheap install

they would be the guys to do it though, since all they do is proteges.......oh, and some rx-7's, but mostly proteges

I wonder what kind of increase in HP we would be looking at with that system. I don't live far from them either. I might just drive up there one day and see what they can do with my car for a few thousand $$$. If they can get me above WRX horsepower for about $4000 along with stability, I would be very interested.
