alexandermartinez66 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 What do y'all think are good go to mods for a rebuild. Currently swapping a sti type ra block into my 08' legacy. I've read some forum's and watched a lot of people's build's on youtube, but just wanted to get some opinions from fellow owner's on what mods you think are a must or go to. I'm going for sleeper and something I can take to the track on weekends, a track rat build. Only thing I've gotten so far upgraded wise is a killer b oil pick/baffle kit and apr headstuds for new block.

Chocoholic005 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 If you're sticking with cast pistons, there's no need to do much more than an oil pickup, head studs and an 11mm oil pump. All of which have a questionable benefit on a stock shortblock, but they add peace of mind. I also did valves, springs, retainers and guides, but only because I was having brand new heads built and they didn't cost much extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Lol. Post #1 is post #? Fire the money cannon and the sky is the limit. I’m $35k in to my car over the purchase price and it makes 375hp/400tq reliably. Track it often and you should double that budget. Aspirations.... These cars get expensive...
