AMS Visit

Me and my friend are down here in Springfield and we were wanting to take a little road trip up to the Chi Town area and was wondering what it's like at the AMS HQ? Do you guys have a store there, any tours, etc.? Thanks fellas, I'm looking forward to hearing back.

Does anyone know if they have tours, etc like I said in the original post? I'd like to see some dyno runs, etc.

I don't think they open until like 2pm most days. Check the website for hours. Right off of I-90, so it's pretty easy to find.
