800 hp on K16 Billets?
Edit: no 700whp graphs, to my knowledge. 550 whp on pump, 600 whp on race.

True, AMS has just passed those questions unanswered. As they did to Nicks note about IC independent testing...
And yes, I'm saying too that's 800 hp is not feasible. Not with K16s IRL. BTW, a friend of mine bought AMS's A28 kit, "capable of 700 hp". The car has all "supporting mods", except oversized turbo in/out piping and whatever they did at dyno -yes, it's dyno tuned- it maxed out at 600 crankhp. Turbine restricting...has Europipe's exhaust, so the issue isn't there. With 1 bar boost the pre-turbine pressure is 1.7 bar. Rising exponentially with increasing boost... Acceleration numbers support that 600 crankhp too. Next summer they will try with E85, just to be sure. 1/4 mile 11,47s / 202 kmh. Its 4wd tip, had 2 persons onboard and is fully equipped. Oh yes, dyno testing was done in RWD mode...
I've learned not to trust dyno numbers. Not at least if they're done by someone that's trying to sell something. In USA. Everything's bigger over there. WHP = Wish horsepower. Numbers are usable to measure gains when testing's been done on a same dyno by an independent operator. Actual performance measurements (acceleration testing) are much more reliable way.

Can you put him in contact with me...there has to be something wrong.

We designed The Alpha 9 kit using an AWE system which was on our 997.1 and all fit without any issues.
AMW supplied us with an EP1 system while building his Alpha 9 Porsche and we found it didn't fit. This is not an issue with the exhaust as its a beautiful piece, but more the fact our kits pushes the exhaust back slightly. This combined with the large muffler in the EP1 kit put it too close to the rear bumper and we didn't feel comfortable with its location.

A30's fit very well with a Europipe
Those A28's must be totally different.
We do not use off the shelf A28's as Martin has mentioned and surely the case with the location changes.

So you are saying your friend has a 997.1 with our ALPHA 9 kit and is only making 600hp Crank? Our kit doesn't work with a europipe exhaust and our kit comes with those "oversized turbo in/out piping" Are you sure he has our kit? We dont sell it the way you are describing.

What do you expect Pete? If they did it would have been to much of a risk as they have already made all the big claims about how great their product is and it would have destroyed their reputation in an instant.
AMS are clever and know what they are doing. It's great for them as they make a lot of money but I feel so sorry for the people that lose their money.

No dude you discredited yourself, I am merely pointing it out.
I am not asking you to give me a free set where did I ever say that?
Also there is no way in hell I would fit your cheap cores to my Porsche turbo are you buzzing?
If you want to run the same test I can put you in touch with the company that ran it for me, it's not a problem.
There is no need to send them to me and the only reason I mentioned it previously in my test thread was to collate some hard core data to back up the products, which you want to avoid doing.
The 800hp comes from a crank to whp estimate stemming from roughly a 15% drivetrain loss.
Despite the dyno some think we are lying. They can keep saying it didn't happen until they are blue in the face but it did. We are a very honest and transparent company no matter what some would like you to believe. The fact that we have spent the past 20 pages trying to prove that is honestly out of character for us.
It's obvious a few members in here have a clear agenda to discredit us. We are not going to convince them of anything, their minds are made up. They are not trying to protect anyone but rather to attack for the sake of attacking. It's honestly juvenile at this point. We are just trying to protect our name and counter some of these blatant lies and attacks. We will keep doing what we have done for over a decade; make honest parts that perform, fit like stock and prove all claims with real data and track testing.
If anyone has a question feel free to PM, email call etc.

You can take shots at our intercoolers or any other parts all you want. The simple truth is our parts work, they break records and have satisfied customers for over a decade.
