How much Hp should I have gained with these mods?
Since there is no dyno close enough to me I guess I will never actually know. But anyway the mods are goin to be vishnu up pipe, perrin down pipe with cat, greddy evo cat back, resonator less intake, and I have bout 600 more bucks to blow but do not know what to get any suggestions? And another thing how much hp can our stock tranny take before we fry them?
Thanks for your time Sean

With those mods, I'd say you were about 190-200 at the wheels. With the extra money I'd say get the Unichip or save a little and get a reflashed computer. That will help out a lot. Unless you don't have any gauges. If you don't that is something you are going to need so that you know your running safe. Just my .02.

You can get the gauge pack from subaru but your going to pay for it! It depends on where you want the gauges, what kind of look your going for, money, etc. AutoMeter makes decent gauges for cheap, but if you want really good guages, Omori guages are one of the best along with Defi (expensive). Just don't get the cheapest guages out there, you'll pay for it later. I have the AutoMeter C/F Ultralite series and have never had any problems with them. Read around on here and get some different opinions before you go out and get some.
Other thing: Where do you want to put them? A-pillar, where the clock is, glove box(don't recommend), where the radio is? All personal preference. Mine are mounted on the A-pillar, just because that's where I had them in my other car so I was used to it.
For guages check:

my guess was the same as wrxboxer4's. the uppipe should net around 5-7hp, same with a downpipe, the catback is around 10hp.
a great beginner, really safe setup is probably:
uppipe (5hp)
downpipe (5hp)
boost controller (20hp) 10 for every 1psi
intercooler hoses (5hp)
pulleys (5hp)
an easy 40 conservative horsepower

I would add another $150 and get an Ecutek reflash. The reflash will enable you to get the most out of your mods, and give you what roughly equates to a Vishnu Stage 1 (minus the pulley). Stage 1 is good for 300-310 at the crank.
I think the tranny can handle the added power relatively easily. Failed trannies are more a result of driver error than excessive power IMHO. You can strip your gears stock.

Also do the grounding mod, if you have a friend that works at a car audio store get some 4 guage wire from them. Or just buy some it will cost like $20, you need about 10 ft. Test show an add of about 4 or 5 hp from this. I did it my self took about an hour cuz I ****ed up the grounding block I was using, but it can be done in about 20 mins if you don't mess up.

don't know the benefits from the ground mod (i didn't notice any), but why not? it's a pretty cheap mod. 4 guage isn't necessary though, 8 gauge is good and no need to spaghetti the engine bay, keep it simple, just a couple of proper placed grounds will work.

I used 4 cuz I got the hook up on it, I did 4 places, one on each shock tower, and on the two oem grounds on the engine. I got a little bit out of it, but I think after adding parts that need more power to run it is more worth it. At that point it will maximize that part.
