ALPHA 10 in the UAE goes 9.80@153 back to back

We wanted to congratulate our dealer Tensai Tuning and their customer Ahli out of Abu Dhabi / UAE for running quite an impressive time this past weekend at the MEGTROC and GTZ Charity Drag Event.

The car was built and tuned by local AMS Dealer Tensai Tuning to a very conservative 860whp/800tq on their very low reading mustang Dyno. From what we know of this dyno it would be roughly 950-975whp on our Dynojet.

Despite some fairly poor track conditions Ahli was able to go out and run two back to back 9.80@247.96kph (153.7mph) passes. Making him currently the quickest R35 GT-R in the UAE.

Congratulations to Ahli and Tensai tuning for the great run and we are sure with better conditions an even quicker and faster time is right around the corner!

Another ALPHA 10 GT-R is born.

Jeff’s 2010 GT-R was amongst that group and he was getting quite the treatment… an ALPHA 10 Package to be exact. Jeff like every customer had some special goals. He wanted great 0-60 times, gobs of torque and 1000whp if ever the situation called for it. The ALPHA 10 was the obvious choice.

Jeff told us up front that he was rarely going to see race gas so big power on pump was a must. We put together a tried and true package consisting of:

ALPHA 10 turbo kit
ALPHA 3.8 Race engine
ALPHA cylinder head package with ALPHA Camshafts
ALPHA Induction kit and front mount intercooler
ALPHA fuel system
ALPHA fuel rail kit with Fuel pressure regulator
ID2000 CC injectors
ALPHA ported throttle body service
Dodson/ Exedy Sportsman Clutch and full transmission build by ShepTrans

Final numbers:

93 Octane pump gas: 834 whp and 676 Ft / lbs of torque
MS109E unleaded race gas: 1013whp and 832 ft/ lbs of torque

NY Giants Brandon Jacobs ALPHA 9+ R35 GT-R

 

Brandon Jacobs AMS Alpha 9+ R35 Gt-R

A little while ago we were contacted by NY Giants running back Brandon Jacobs. Aside from being a standout running back in the NFL he is also one of the biggest car nuts you will ever talk to. Brandon can talk for hours about all things auto and has a true passion for our shared hobby.

Over the past few weeks we have been building a new version of our ALPHA 9 package for Brandon. Aptly named the ALPHA 9+ we selected some slightly larger turbo chargers that we felt would not only maintain perfect spool time but allow for a nice bump in power. With standard ALPHA 9 packages doing about 680-700whp on pump gas and 780-800 on race gas we were hoping for a nice 50whp bump. Read more…
