What is stage 2 in a Rex?

At it's basic, downpipe and a tune. If it's a good tune, you might be looking at about 300 awhp.
I was talking to a WRX STI owner last time I was at the strip. 500bhp and completely stripped out. He said it was unbelievably fast and I shouldn't bother with a Golf and should go with something like his. It was almost 30oC and he was sweating like a pig, he went down the strip and busted a 12.22@113.1 as his fastest run. I went down and shot him down with a 12.11@112.25.
So I highly doubt he was 500bhp, that his car was stripped with no creature comforts and mine was with a full interior, climate and a lovely sound system. I doubt I will be going for something like his! LOL
Lol! Did he say anything about what modifications he had done to get his 500 bhp STI? It would take a lot of fucking work to get there, and almost definitely a built motor. Most guys who went for 400 awhp, which would be less than 500 at the crank, either never actually have their car cause it's always being worked on or showed up on the forum and then vanished shortly after. I wonder why
I knew of one guy, just one, off the top of my head who had a pretty reliable subaru at significantly higher than stage 2 numbers. He dynoed at 350-360 awhp, which is far far short of 500 crank.
