The motor is built with 10:1 compression. I always thought that torque starts to fall off when HP takes over - is this not true?

Yes this I have the AAM kit with the EFR6758s in their default configuration.

Good to know. Ill be shooting for 700whp and want to make sure that I won't be choked out right under 700 lol. The turbo upgrade for the AAM kit def isn't cheap. Im still on the fence about it, but I'm leaning towards no upgrade and just maxing out the regular turbos.

I'm in the same situation ... what price did they give you for the upgrade?
When the car was shipped down there they didn't have that option - or they just didn't mention it to me.
Thanks,

You changing kits?

Yeah. To reach my power goals I was going to have to buy a new turbo, get the larger 3 inch charge piping, and possibly modify the downpipe to allow more flow. I was given a pretty incredible deal (sponsorship) through AAM, so I decided to make the switch to their kit. It was a pretty unique opportunity that came at a perfect time.

Nice. If I end up with a built motor I'll likely be disappointed I didn't go TT too. Of course there wasn't a TT option for a G when I took the plunge so nothing to really regret.

You might just have to pioneer another solution like you did with BP

I have no issues with the BP kit by any means. After some thought and number crunching, it was actually a tad bit cheaper to switch kits believe it or not. Modifying the downpipe would have been pretty expensive, the turbo, and the new charge pipes.... after adding all of that and what I could sell the BP kit for, it was cheaper to get the AAM kit.

As part of my contract, Ill be giving my review of the AAM kit, and my experiences with both kits and how they fare against each other. It won't be apples and apples because of the different power levels, but another bit of research to help other forum members in their searches.
