    As has been stated over and over again from the initial release.........there were no consistenly proven power improvements with the AGS beyond the sound. The S/C and associated AFTER S/C plumbing are the areas that will yield the higher perfomance gains.

    Sure you get better response what is logicaly.

    At the same engle of the throttle you get more air. So you need less pedal press for the same amount of air.

    And yes it gives better torque in the middle and yes proven on dyno 3HP on top!

    3 HP is well within a statistical margin of error.....thus no real benefit.

    I am the first one on the world who broke 300 HP barrier on stock M45 and stock piston and rods.

    Where are you exactly? Just asking.....:D

    Wow, that hole must have taken a while to wear through. You didn't get any codes when the hole was just starting to make itself known?

    A few of the cars tuned by Jan over the years make over 300hp at the crank. One of them makes 271whp = 312 crank hp has stock m45,intercooler,pistons, rods, crank, and even stock flywheel/clutch.

    I got codes and a pretty loud hissing sound when it happened.
