Thanks for the opinions everyone
that 4wd will probably slow you down. if you had one of the newer 4.7s with the power increase, now then that would be a different story

The STI is turbocharged as well as supercharged, a very quick car.

Even the WRX is a quick car. I drive a 4.7 everyday. With a practically stock 4.7, there are very many race inspired CARS you can beat.
The STI is just a turbo flat 4.

I don't even know if that's possible. The only way i could think of doing that would be to run the turbo straight through the SC which wouldn't be much of a problem; but to force induction a belt driven SC? I'm curious now if that would even stay together.

Well after a search, apparently it's possible; with A LOT of modification. I found a Twin turbo/supercharged Subaru STI and a skyline motor

That's already been proven, with some minor body damage. But again, it's rubicon, you don't take any car or truck there that you're afraid to scratch.
