I'm interested in this upgrade but need comments from those that already have it. Is it worth it and how much HP did your car really gain?

 

i dont have the AMS stage one, but I had an intake and turbo back with an email tune from Mellon and made 293whp/291wtq. looks like you get a fuel pump with the AMS stage 1 but it only comes with a cat back, so you will still have the stock dp and cat in there which will rob some power. hope this helps some

I did a few searches and I'm surprised by how few threads there are on the AMS Stage 1 package (catback exhaust, intake, flash/tune, boost gauge, about $1100). The website claims this will get you "345 to 365 HP on 93 octane" (note hp, not whp). Seems like a nice package for someone starting out.

I just don't want to travel 5-6 hours if it's not worth it. For those that have AMS Stage 1 + custom flash please speak up. I need to know what you guys think. Are there other stages by other vendors that are better?

 

Do it. You will enjoy it.
