AMS Tuned

Well I just got back from getting my X tuned at AMS.. I must say all of the guys there I met were great and really took the time to show me around and answer any questions that I may have had.. They are working on some very very interesting stuff however I can't say what lol..

My baseline was: Torque at 274 and Horspower at 260.. The only mods on the car at the time of the baseline were a HKS Drop In and a Greedy catback. After the custom tuning my torque is now at 301 and horse power is up to 304. I will post the graph as soon as I can get an image of the dyno however I will say gains above 4500 RPMS are very nice up to the new redline of 7700.

The car now pulls much harder and you can feel the increased power.. Love how this thing runs now.

Yet another fine job done by AMS. :-) It's really amazing how these cars respond to tunes.

hey guys,

So I take it, AMS is good? I've just put a down payment on an Evo 9 that the dealership has just taken to AMS to put in an Exedy clutch and give it a tune-up. It's also got an AMS exhaust and downpipe. Anybody know how it is?
