I just saw a piece on YouTube from a reputable Subaru tuner that said the 2.0 liter flat 4 block in this thing can capably handle up to 450 horsepower...let the games begin.
It was a Wards Ten Best Engine pick in 2013. Just sayin'
I would leave it stock (other than the tires, a set of super sports will do wonders if you are going to track it). While there have been some successes with FI mods, you are not looking at a small sum or a risk or problem free proposition. Plus you nuke the warranty. All the non-FI mods don't really deliver bang for the buck IMHO.

In the end, I left mine bone stock. I had some fun and saved my money. Once my bank account recovered I ended up backing into an amazing deal on my M3 (honestly I was looking 335/335is, but got made an offer I couldn't refuse).
I AM wrestling with stock vs mod.
