Smurf, results are the end all be all. If an American vendor or any other country vendor came out and went 6s in a shoebox, everybody would not bash. If they did, they can't dispute the 6 seconds. OT example below:

Nasa's rockets are serious but if they never took the rockets to space, never had launches the public can see, and never actually go 17,000 mph who would care? What's the difference with them is that they actually do those things and that is why they are respected, to the point where the public doesn't bash but make the phrase "it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out" Respect is earned, and when you are truly in another league you don't need to prove nothing anymore as the results speak for themselves.

I just read all 18 pages of this lol. I see what Dave is saying and I too thought the same thing when I saw the vid 11k rpm dsm has been done before and I'm glad it was pointed out. I am not quite sure why everyone attacked him (DB) for this. I follow Dave's posts because they are usually full of information. That being said I have seen a few that have been "ornery" but they generally have good points. I think it is great to see a vendor so involved with the community. I do not think it is bashing for Dave to expect someone to give props/reference to using someone else's parts parts in theirs and calling the finished product their own (the manifold). I think this thread and Dave's posts show that he is not just in the community for the marketing and making money. Why would someone that is worried about making money constantly create threads outside the for sale section and take the chance of people bashing him or saying he is rude and not worth doing business with. That all being said I have never dealt with Dave nor do I have any of his parts on my car. Will I choose him when I finally do a build? Yes I will because he has been around for so long and has proven that he knows what he is doing and has good results.

Stock ports, stock valves, my car spins to as much as 11,250 in first regularly and on the dyno has continued to make more power up to 10950, have not pulled it any higher. Car makes over 1000 awhp.

Pics/Vids or ban !

You say "Makes More power up to 10950" Do you mean that the power will gradually increase all the way to 10950 rpms, make peak power at 8-9k and then slightly fall off towards 11k, or plateau from wherever your peak power is made?

It depends, it use to plateau pretty much after 9-9500, but recently we started playing with timing out the back door and it gradually increases to 10950. At lower power levels 950 and below it is always increasing after I got the tune right. I think part of this may be in fact I am out of turbo at this point though.

For a long time I had not messed with cam timing and it would peak at 9ish and hold or either fall off slightly but after adjusting the cams it has made it continue to increase. I would be interested to see if head work would change this any as its a brand new bone stock head with springs/retainers and the casting flaws removed.

What was the hp claim here? That was the worst power curve I have ever watched. Looked like a 400whp car crying at high rmp lol.

No clue but I have a feeling your going to give me some excuse. Sounds like the gate opens up at about 8500rpm. This car must be purpose build for the standing 5mile run lol.

I am counting the days one of these 150lb turbo cars hit’s a real race track.

Btw-any one want to buy a bridge? I can show you pics so you know every thing is legit.

Funny thing is , I was going to build my GTR and they were asking almost triple the price of AMS Alpa 12 saying that AMS is off the self stuff they use custom parts and are better even with them giving me sponsership build it was still like 200 grand out of pocket to build! But all that money and no records broken or tested in the USA?
