Awesome news for the X World!

 

On pump by the way... 130 mph traps here we come....

 

SAWEEEEEET! What color X?

 

Not mine... I'll let AMS chime in.

Woops, didn't know this was already posted. Lock'er up!

 

YEAH and the key is on PUMP GAS!!!

 

450whp does not typically equal 130mph and especially not in a heavy X.

119-120 would be about right.

Looking forward to the track times.

 

yeah 130mph traps with our gearing/weight.
I'd estimate at least 500-550whp needed. Not sure thou since no one has got 130mph traps yet!
But we are getting closer!

 

I miscommunicated my point... I meant 130+ now that we have a viable 35R option that yields 450awhp on pump. On C16 and more boost, another 100whp should be attainable in order to yield 130mph traps.

 

Well AMS' X is not heavy at all...

Toss in some Race gas and they will be up there.

 

Just curious...how does this turbo kit compare to the agency power/vivid racing gt35r turbo kit that boasts 510hp at only 20psi on 91 octane? I did notice that they did not say 510 WHP.

You sir are a smart man. You were able to see that they did not say WHP. The simple answer is their numbers are "made up crank HP number". That is similar to people saying "Well, my car made XXX HP on a Mustang Dyno so on a DynoJet it would make XXX HP" There is no accurate formula to figure out crank HP from a chassis dyno or HP from a MD to a DJ etc. These numbers are just fabricated to advertise a higher HP number that hopefully helps sell parts.

Unfortunately, everyone has kind of gone to advertising these "fake" numbers instead of using numbers from a chassis dyno that everyone can relate to. Because everyone seems to compare numbers to the DynoJet chassis dyno, it would seem to me to be the "standard". If that is the case, it would make the most sense for truth in advertising to have all comparisons made using DJ numbers. The DynoJet has been shown to provide the most repeatable numbers from dyno to dyno while it seems that other brand chassis dynos can be grossly manipulated into giving just about any number people want.

 

become more and more impressed by ams day by day

 

As far as ET and Trap Speeds are concerned. This thread talks about our USCC win using our prototype Evo X turbo kit on our white Evo X. At the competition, we ran 11.4 @ 118 from on an un-prepped surface (basically the street). At the time, this car was not that much lighter than stock with only the spare tire, jack, front and rear crash beams and front seats swapped out for weight savings. The gearing in the X is horrible for higher HP cars. 4th gear runs out at about 110 MPH at 7600 rpms which means that 5th gear is needed to get through the traps. I know that Shep is working on the X gear box now trying to improve gearing for drag and road racing.

As you may have seen in our TA-X build up thread, the weight reduction on the gray Evo X is going to end up being substantial. It will be interesting to get that out to the track and see what it will do in the 1/4 mile.
