It is becoming common knowledge that Subaru ships their flagship rally bred bruisers, the WRX and STI with what can be considered a non optimal tune to say the least. It is common knowledge that with mods the cars can run lean and really need a competent tune to run safely and make good power, but what is not commonly known is just how much of a difference a professional tuner can make even with a showroom stock WRX/STI. Not only can R/T Tuning insure your stock car is running safely but we can make a huge difference in power output and drivability as well.
Take the following customer car as example of just the kind of magic R/T Tuning can work on a stock 2011 Subaru STI and the Cobb AccessPORT software.

Mr. Ansinn's car came to us factory fresh and ready for a tune. Below you will find his baseline dyno graph which shows just how lean the cars can run at the torque peak. Que Kenny Loggins "DangerZone" and scroll down to see near stoichiometric air/fuel readings right as the power is building.

We let our inhouse ProTUNER Andy Brahy and his AccessPORT software at the STI and we are all astounded by just how much we had to work with on this awesome hatchback.

That isn't any dyno trickery or one time huge boost pressures here. We are talking about a stock car at a max of 17psi making these kind of numbers! This thing is a street ninja now with nearly 290whp on 93 octane fuel without making much more than a whoosh as it blasts down the street. 40 ft/lbs of torque gained! Perfect for those of you looking for a real performance car without a loud exhaust or other hallmarks of a modified Subaru.

So whether you are running a big turboed monster Subie or a dead stock commuter we can make it perform better, last longer, and put a bigger smile on your face everytime you turn the key.
