AMS is up there if not the highest, and they said their transmission was starting to slip already which is no good.

And no the transmissions are not the same as the MR. I have not heard anyone say definitively what the difference is yet, but the MR appears to be able to hold more power.

You're not going to find a definitive answer on this because each dyno reads a little different. Regardless, any of the major turbo upgrades (EVO X, FP Red, etc.) all produce way more power than the RA's stock TC-SST can sustain over time.

Maybe a little lower since AMS had their clutches slipping with the FP Red pushing 295 wtq.

Torque is measured at the crank, not at the wheels.

dang, slipping at 300. i was wanting to do a X swap but it might not be worth it if im to be limited to 300whp. there are the upgraded clutches now, but then when will the trans itself (not clutches) let go?

Hp is not the issue its torque
U can hit 350 or 370 awhp but your torque would have to be high 200's

Time will tell what can be done to increase the holding power of the RA SST. If you search around, progress is being made in adjusting the clamping force the SST applies. I do not know this for a fact, but I suspect that the s-sport setting on the MR helps it hold more power than the RA.
