Now when they say Max hp gain, do they mean
gain at Peak hp or do they mean the highest gain somewhere in the power band was 20 hp? I could see gaining some hp and tq down low but our hp does not peak till later in the rpm's.

But the problem with that is the K03 is going to be slowing down
and boost is going to fall off so it would be hard to make a gain of 20 peak hp. I can see the cams helping that much if the turbo was able to actual hold the same boost level to redline.

Where your boost falls off is where your tq will peak
and your hp peak will not be till about 5500 rpms, which is where your boost is very small and the g/s starts to stall. This is why I am saying it is hard to make a 20 hp "peak" gain with just cams on a turbo that cant hold a set boost straight to redline. Just so you understand, I had schrick cams in my car with a K04. The reason I put them in was bacause I was going to a much larger turbo after I built the motor and only used the K04 for the mean time.
