AMS to Attend Spring 2010 Texas Mile Event!

AMS prepares to attend the Texas Mile Event for the 2nd time. This time, we plan to bring the AMS GT-R, AMS Porsche 996 and one other vehicle – the AMS EVO VIII Drag Car! See what it takes to convert the Drag Car into a standing one mile race vehicle!

AMS releases Porsche K16 Billet Turbo upgrades

AMS releases the most powerful K16 based turbo upgrade available. Using a custom CNC machined billet compressor wheel, these modified K16’s are capable of 750-800hp! These exclusive turbos available from AMS feature modern aerodynamics that offer high flow and stock-like spool. These are the ultimate turbos for street and track cars, no lag and incredible horsepower. Capable of pushing 10 second quarter mile times at well over 130mph with minor bolt-ons, this kit will put your 996TT into the pinnacle of supercar status.

AMS 996TT Turbo intake pipe prototyping pics

While we have the engine/trans down during the clutch swap we decided to fab up some turbo intake pipes. Looking at the system we’re first going to test the intake pipes and then possibly modify the plenum once we get dyno testing done. Clearance is tight for the pipes!

As you can see we modify the stock piece that bolts to the Plenum in the spot that we consider most beneficial to the performance of the system. It’s 2.5″ piping all the way. Pricing should be pretty reasonable and we’ll have dyno test soon!

AMS Porsche 996TT is ready for Texas Mile

We’re about ready to leave for Texas so I wanted to give an update on our car and what we’ve done to it. Surprisingly, very little! We’ve been testing our new billet K16 upgrades on our X50 car and are very happy with the results. Tony at EPL has been doing remote tuning and the car putting down some serious power for the limited mods. I’m really hoping to go around 190mph with the car and hopefully we can squeeze a little more out of it.
