Either with our kit or AMS's you won't go wrong. Here are some very recent pump gas w/ meth dyno graphs.

First our 50 trim kit....


And the 67r kit running out of fuel with 1000cc injectors...

although yes peakboost is cheaper i wouldnt call it a cheaply made product... i think that's an important to keep in mind

there's a guy on here with a gt35r on their topmount with AWESOME spool... he's still only running pump ... soo no final numbers but one can hope

something esle to think about...

Shearer and Peakboost both offer Lifetime warrenties ... AMS only offers a 2 year warrenty (on manifolds) .... something esle to keep in mind... to my knownledge there arent any AMS manifolds that have cracked...

i know that was pretty much a big ciricle but still just something to think about

Shearer's kit is the nicest..I dont know how you could debate that. AMS's is nice buts I like the Shearer manifold way better, and its cheaper. FYI both AMS and Shearer use the same kind of 50trim turbo so they both make great power

+1 on Shearer... the manifold is a piece of art. Never heard anything bad about them since my DSM days.

Shearer, YGPM.

another thing to think about ... both Peakboost and Shearer have 3" o2 housing

peakboost uses a 44mm wastegate ... both Shearer and AMS use 38mm ::shruggs::

How does a the size of the wastegate affect performance?
