Im in a bad situation. I just sold my DD to buy a kit for my IX. I have all the supporting mods I am just lost as to which one I should get. First off I do not want the evo green or any kit made by buschur. Nothing against either I just dont want them. I have pretty much narrowed it down to An AMS 50trim. AMS 35 with alky. Or i am really wanting the SLS borg warner s256 kit with alky but I havent heard any results on it. It is a great value at 3200 but I know that AMS's kits are by far the best as far as fitment etc etc. I just dont want to spend 4500 on a kit and can make the same power with a 3k kit. I want to make around 450 whp and maybe 500whp on alky. What should I go with?

 

haha, love this

oh and get a 35R with 2.3 stroked. or 30r.. for less lag 450 who is fine

 

wow your gay and have too much time on your hands

 

Search. Do you really need us to hold your hand?

 

with all those mods in your sig, should know what ur looking for already

 

Well i really want the SLS kit. but I HAVE searched and not seen anyone who has it yet. I would get the AMS but the GB is closed and I dont wanna spend 4500 on a kit right now.

 

well im sure you could find a used 35r kit if you dont want to pay that much...

 

Only thing is im not gonna do a 35 unless i do alky.. which i will probably do along with cams with any kit i get

 

FP Green is my suggestion for a turbo. It is not that far off from the 50 trim and GT3076R turbo when it comes to power. It reaches 20psi by 3500rpm and it's bolt-on.

 

AMS 35R w/ meth...ftmfw

 

It seems like you are pretty set on what you want. Just get a 50 trim with alky and call it a day.

 

Your best choice is the AMS or Shearer 50trim. 400+whp on pump, close to 500whp on meth/race gas. Your stock block and drivetrain should hold up pretty well at this power level if you treat it right, but anythings possible. A GT35R will lag you to death on the stock 2.0l especially w/o MIVEC, and your block would eventually give out at 550+WHP. Theres no solid info on the SLS kits, and they barely even respond to their own thread, which isnt a good sign. I would steer clear of them and save yourself the hassle and potential disaster. Bottomline: stick with the kits that have been proven time and time again, year after year and you wont be disappointed.

You said you don't want to spend $4500 when you could get the same performance for $3200 but thats what your doing. The buschur kits will make good power too. I think some people like their manifolds so they opt for their kits. Bottom line, you won't make more power on the ams kit to justify the extra $1300+ imo.

 

50trim with meth should be good for ~480-500whp w/ supporting mods.
