First thanks for starting this thread and putting the video up for people that have missed it.

Mostly though I'd appreciate it if the trouble starters would keep off OUR backs as well as AMS's.

I have had respect for very few shops over the years of being in this business. AMS is a shop that I not only hold repsect for but truly enjoy hanging out with them and just having a good time. I've had the opportunity to do this on a few occasions now and intend to have many more this year with both of us going to some of the same races.

Buschur Racing nor AMS needs to have anyone trying to stir up crap between our shops and I know I'd appreciate it if it wasn't even attempted.

At this point I wish I'd have just kept the car here on our dyno making 763 whp and left it at that. Nobody was impressed, nobody was starting crap and nobody was making comparisons.

Good post, David. As long as your two shops knows what's up, who cares who posts what on here? If only all the other tuners out there could have the same mutual respect as you and AMS have. In most cases, everybody's always whooping on each other instead of all the other model cars out there! We all drive EVOs! Talk trash about some STIs or something else...

Well Said Dave and Jarrod.

I would like to place an order for one of those Sweet Bumper Bars. There have been quite a few nights here at the shop that one of those little gems would come in handy.

We still currently hold the record but we would be very silly to sleep on even our own record.

All this means is even better products for EVO Owners. Dave, Jarrod and the guys at Buschur keep pushing us just as we keep pushing them.

Records are made to be broken and we will do our best to keep breaking them

Our figures were made on a Superflow Engine Dyno so were true Flywheel figures. We made 841Hp and 635LbFt at 2.25Bar on C16, so no where near 1K!

Well done to Buschur and AMS for pushing the envelope over that side of the world!

Cheers

Simon

I can build you guys one of these bars if you are serious Eric. Send me a fascia.

Thanks Simon @ Norris Designs. We've done a little business together and you were a joy to deal with. Make sure next time you take one of your cars on the street you get with myself and AMS first. I think the three of should coordinate before we run our cars. I think it could hurt the worlds rotation if we all three ran at the same time in the same direction!! haha

both cars are producing amazing numbers and both camps are top notch. everyone also needs to remember that dyno numbers aren't standard to every dyno, they're all different, i can't wait to see these 2 get some passes under their belts, those ET's are what is truly impressive. anyone thinking 8's this year?

I get so annoyed when I am reading a decent thread then they turn into a b!tch match between vendors about who's p*ssy is bigger. I am happy to say that the only two companys I would consider using parts from are cool w/ each other. Plus they build the fastest evo's in the world. Props to AMS and Buscher. On a side note I'd still love to see them toe to toe.

I hope you didnt take that as negative Simon, I dont think there is a EVO Owner in the world that isnt impressed with your work.

Thank you for the kind words

The truth is that we all win, because these guys are bringing a huge level of respect to our cars and the ability to tune the little Pepsi-Bottle-Sized engine to such impressive levels.
