The Evo 8 MR and Evo 9 engines can run over 350lb/ft of torque safely. It's torque that normally caps the fun, not horsepower.The other engines can make the extra power - but it's a risk that the rods might exit the block...
You can put ARP rod bolts in to help - but the failures i've seen have been from the centre of the rod itself...

TBF im not 100% sure on the spec of my friends. Its just the RC400/400 package mapped by somebody in leeds/yorkshire or somewhere 
It goes well, and the owner is happy, but he dont know whether to go rods and pistons or get a Westfield or a Caterham instead

Unless he's had an MR engine fitted - not uncommon in the event of failure!

This Evo has had FQ 400 Cams & Rods fitted, Bigger Intercooler, Full Jap Spec Exhaust and various bits n bobs.
Clutch absolutely killed my left leg, coz its sooo heavy. Impossible to get a smooth pull off from the lights.
But what a weapon. Once it was up and running, would kill my FRS completely.

Benni, to be fair mate its a little hard to say really. My car isn't set up so comparision is a little hard.
However, when the Evo comes on boost (Which it does like an animal) it pushes you back into the seat and it feels so planted and focused.
My RS charges well, and feels very planted on boost, but I think the Evo would eat it for breakfast

Fella trust me, I was 'booting it' as you say. Video doesn't do it justice. I never hang around when I have a go in fast cars. 
You can hear my mate gasping and worrying slightly in the vid, and he doesn't do that normally
