Awsome build, that's for sure.
I am Japanese and I would think this kind of build would be considered "extreme" and will be less-valued IN Japan.(It will have positive review for sure but people would be more confused on why go such extreme to tear apart a fine balanced car...that's all)
But for this level of engineering and work this would be very exciting and ground breaking...that's what this is all about!
Good luck, subscribed!

I was once talking to some people with Nob Taniguchi when he visited Manila and they were telling me that aside from drift, the in thing in Japan are street legal high performance cars reaching 500+hp. Yepz, his term was street legal, so maybe even emissions and noise are counted. Horsepower is not much of a focus, but they would rather consider the total balance. If too much horsepower will restrict response, then they lower down the power.
I just love it how the Japanese tests and races tricked out high performance cars in the freeways.

I love to see a car maxed out. If not by everyone at least someone. It is not till you max it out that you know the car and what its able to do.
AMS keep it up.

AWESOME build, AMS doing some big things. Definately can see why you are so sucessful when you add this kind of technology with passion and skill to build these insane high end cars.
Cant wait to see more.

No offense but the ZR1 has a hugely over inflated horsepower rating from factory. You can find comparisons all over and you will find that from the factory nissan gave the GTR a closer HP rating compared to GM's joke rating.
That GTR MIGHT be making 900 at the crank but its not even close to 900whp, it would have blown that vette away!

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. Because we are not building a hand welded header and casting the pieces instead the hard engineering behind it has been focused in our CAD software. Drew has been spending countless hours trying to design the most optimum kit given our space constraints. So far his work has been nothing short of spectacular!
As you can see the header and wastegate placement are allowing us to get away with designs that would be extremely difficult to obtain with a hand fabricated piece. That coupled with the fact that it will be casted will ensure a power potent and reliable kit for years to come.
Here are some more CAD images courtesy of our engineer Drew Johnson
More updates soon to follow
