TeamDcx is infamous around these parts
Who's going to get my $20k this summer?

Before AMS announcement, I 100% positive I was going with the Switzer P800 package for my 997.1. Now with AMS latest development, I'm 85% positive, they'll be getting my $20k this summer. Why 85% instead of a 100%, let's just say I strongly believe competitiors are lurking, which may present a competitive advantage for the consumer. That being said, it will definitely be Switzer or AMS, because I believe they are simply the best after studying numberous reviews and testimonals.

Thanks for sharing. Did I read it correctly that the car hit 7700 rpm at 59 seconds into the video, or is that just the tachometer's inaccuracy?
I'm aware some tuners increase max rpm to 7200 but didn't know 7700 is possible with this engine?

This being our car the limiter is set higher and shift at approx 7500 rpm. The rev limiter is set at 7300 for customer cars.

Larry, thanks for the explanation. The higher rpm is for more power? Or improved shift point?

Is there any particular mod you have to do to the engine so it could handle the higher rpm?

Fantastic results,great car

Are you sure that the rods can handle all this power and torque without problems??

I m asking you because I installed A30 last week and I m afraid to run more than 1,3bar on 996tt platform.

I like very much your new ic!

We wanted a bit more useable rpm and to also push our car hard for testing purposes. We've been running our 997 for a better part of a year at 800+ whp without any signs of issues.

We appreciate the positive feedback on the kit. We have worked hard to bring what we feel is the most complete package to the market.

The turbo's non vtg Alpha 28 based.

I know you have been enjoying it!

Alan thanks again and it was a pleasure working with you. We look forward to seeing the car back later this year for a checkup and few tweaks.

Ahhh...I'd been wondering why no-one used a28s on a 997tt. There are many members with it on the 996tt but it seems many here go to a30s. It seems to me that a28s offer the boost response of the vtgs with more power.

Is the Sachs II.5 clutch kit able to "cope" with this setup? I have this on my car, as well as the AWE exhaust. Are all the lines to the turbo included? Is there much modification needed?
