Contrary to popular belief we would like to see nothing more then a Customer to dethrone us using all of our own products. People always say "there is no way AMS is going to build your car faster then there car" like hell we wont. If you want to invest the money we will do what we can to make your car run circles around our car. I am merely saying in this particular case I think that Chris' car is going to come a little under ours in terms of 1/4 mile time. I have been proved wrong before and ill be the first one to shake his hand if he beats our time....between us I hope that he does.

Eric

I see you guys run around 40psi on your shop car? What boost will be run on the 2.3L, assuming he tosses some nitrous at it too.

Its not a radiators size but its vollume that affects its cooling ability. the Vollume about the same as an EVO VIII and with a good fan on it you should have no problems with keeping the temps at bay. I would not advise sitting in stop and go traffic with the car though.

So Eric can you answer this question pretty please. I think everyone is dying for a comparison between the built 2.0 and 2.3. Pros/Con's spoolup etc. Thanks

At first it was kind of amusing to see the indiect comments you came up0 with, but after a while(aka now) it has just gotten boring and quite lame.
You take things very personal it's a car it's not a person. The car rocks, but do I think stroker with a rev limit of 8K will beat the AMS shop car that redlines at 10K and is running 44+ psi of boost? No, I don't I guess one day we will find out won't we. The car will still be faster than all but the fastest cars roaming the streets.

Yeah sleet, naughty naughty. Never beg. This is that way you do it. Mr. AMS people may I have a chance to drive the shop car, if you do this for me I can die a happy person. And I know all shops out there try to keep happy customers.

See sleet, I should be getting a go for warp drive very soon.




































C'mon dammit
