Next steps

Sent this message to chris@ams and never received a response so posting here hoping someone at AMS will get it and respond.

I find myself wanting a little more from my 08 X. My last round of mods were a BBX, Kelford, Cbrd manifold, SMS fuel system and dw 1000cc injectors. I am not a track guy but rather an investor that wants his money to result in real world noticeable gains. I don't want to lose any mre low end by going t enlarger turbo. Costs aside, what would gain me the best bang for my dollar. The last tune at your shop netted me about 440 to the wheels. What would a 2.2/3 gain me. Are there other options you would try. Not sure I want to go E85, due to restricted availability. One key note, drivability is ultimately the most important to me. I suffer frm p0247 CELs and warm start issues after my last tune with you guys so I am finicky when it comes to "stock" like behavior. Input?

When did you send the email? Seems like you are asking a bit much. The more aftermarket parts you add the more your drivabilty goes down. Tuning can help drivability with these parts but only so much. Not sure how evo 10s are but it seems like if you want more its going to cause you more drivability issues you wont be happy with. You need to take the good with the bad. If you don't want to go e85 even with all the locations in the Chicago land area then get a good Meth kit. Btw you are making some good power where your at now especially if that's on there new mustang dyno.

Last output on AMS Dyno was 441HP with 328TQ. Would love to increase the torque for a more "fun" ride. Don't get me wrong, it's no slouch by any means. Just want to do more...
