Not that long ago ALPHA 9 equipped Operation Agent Orange went up for sale. It was not on the market long and a lucky Chicago Resident snatched it up and QUICK! Upon delivery of the car the new owner had a ton of Audio and interior work done to the car. In addition he contacted us for a an ALPHA 10 conversion and a 93 octane tune.

The results were GREAT and I’ll get to that in a minute for now lets walk you though some of he build pictures

The car was kept in pristine condition by the new owner and a really impressive Audio system and interior treatment was added to the car:

I had big plans for this weekend. I know Autobahn pretty well and I planned to test 2 different configs in 2 days – weather dependent…

We drove up Friday night after work. And by ‘WE’ I mean myself, my wife (married 6 months ago) and our 3 yr old puppy. It’s about 3hrs to Autobahn up by Chicago, IL. The plan was to camp out Fri & Sat at the track. We leave the driveway at 5:07pm. About 5:45pm my wife hears they spotted a Tornado in our hometown at 5:15pm – so we juuuussssttttt missed it. Everything to the W of us looked dark and nasty so we kept heading N to the track with NO plans to stop! Read more…

Accurate Airflow Metering Provides Big Power And Perfect Driveability

By changing to a blow-through style MAF we have eliminated the problems associated with running big power on a factory pull-through system. Smoother driveability and a higher peak HP threshold (when used with our ALPHA MAF sensors) can be achieved while still using a 3” pipe… we have proven well over 1400HP to date. This blow-through conversion allows for much better measurement of the airflow that is actually entering the engine and allows you to run a BOV that will vent to atmosphere without the consequences of a standard MAF.

She is getting loaded in to the trailer now for some private testing but WOW does it look good. I am not sure what the final paint and or wrap will be but she looks pretty good now regardless

The AMS Subaru GD/SG Chassis 3/8” Rear Body Lift Spacers were designed to remedy the unattractive rear squatting or “saggy butt” issue. CAD designed and Water-Jet cut, these corrosion resistant 6061 aluminum spacers provide an easy, quick and affordable solution to provide a much more attractive “raked” look. During design, we’ve found that a 3/8” spacer is the maximum height possible to allow for proper thread engagement on the factory strut hat studs and fastening nuts. Relief cuts were implemented to insure precise bolt-in fitment with factory strut hats. Read more…

Just today we had a chance to test some new AMS spec camshafts in our street class EVO X. The car was baselined with kelford ‘B’ cams on the same tune that the car ran out at Buttonwillow and set the street class record with, narrowly beating our Shop GTR, both being piloted by AMS’s president Martin Musial.

The design goal for these cams was to make more power, while still being able to retain adequate drivability on the stock ECU. Major Modifications to the car are as follows:

AMS 2.3L motor with 10:1 compression ratio
AMS Prototype CNC head package w/ 1mm over valves
AMS Spec Camshafts
AMS FMIC, LICP, UICP
AMS 900x turbo kit @ 33 psi
AMS Single exit 3″ exhaust
AMS Custom paralell fuel pump system
AMS Fuel rail
ID 2000cc injectors @ 72% IDC
ECU controlled boost, single bottom port WG solenoid

Here you can see the results from our cam testing. These cams are available now. There are no losses on the bottom end, and it makes about 25more hp up top with 1 lb LESS BOOST! These cams are good for an easy 30-35whp over the already awesome B cams. Read more…
