Also to clarify, Forced Performance manufacturers the HTA series of turbo's. That is their nomenclature for their own performance line, not a generic performance turbo term. AMS, Buschur, ETS, ect all resell the FP line of HTA turbo's, but the turbo in this test is something completely different.
I hope I dont sound dumb but, what exactly is HTA then?? I thought it was a special wheel. I understand that its FP nomenclature, but none the less you send them a standard 35r and they do "something" making it the HTA. Would this turbo not benefit from that change, does it already incorprate that technology, or does it already exceed it in your opinion?

And in the 60's full drag cars were running 10's on a SBC. Pretty amazing that with today's technology a street car can do the same 
Kudos to both AMS and Buschur Racing for continuing to up the ante. I liken the rivalry between your 2 shops to the horsepower wars of the late 60's between Chevy and Chrysler. Just like then, the development, innovation and testing done by both camps yields great things for the average consumer!
I believe that this is the best time in the history of the automobile to be a car nut . . .

for those asking, tests look like they were performed on Martin's white car, at 30 psi of boost. Or at least the 35R graph looks very similar to the cam testing thread they performed at 30 psi of boost on the white car.

I dont think any of you HTA guys have anthing to worry about.
Also, clipped P-Trim? I have heard from many turbo gurus that a satge 5 and/or T350 T3 Turbine wheel will out flow a P-Trim. Its truly amazing what a 1970's style wheel can do these days! Nice work!
