AMS 42R OWNERS. I need some answers.
I'm switching to this kit from a 35R. Do I get to keep the A/C and powersteering? Also do you guys drive it on the streets as a DD. Also what are your pump gas numbers and times? What combo are you guys using on parts?
AMS team, how many of these kits are on daily driven cars that you've built? What kind of numbers are they running at the track. Also what combo of parts
The plan is to go after Buschur's pump gas time. My combo is going to be real close to the same motor that is on Paul's car, it's going to be built by the same people. With a AMS intake manifold and fuel system. Probably run Kelford 272's or or the S2's nothing crazy on that end. TRE trans and transfercase, On slicks. The car will be a full weight, no cage car, as it will still double as a street car for highway trips.
It's going to be a long expensive winter with a high goal but I got the right tuner and the best parts. I think it is can be done by an independant with the support of EVOM and my family. only time will tell.

We are are so excited to hear about your goal and are here to help you with whatever you need! With the 42R kit you will have to get rid of your AC but can keep the power steering no problem. The downpipe runs right where the AC compressor mounts to the block so it has to go. We have had a few customers purchase this kit and drive it on the street with no problems because the spool up is not that bad with the right engine setup.
As far as pump gas numbers, we really haven't had anybody try to get the most out of this setup on pump gas because of the turbo size. You can't get too much out of it before detonation takes over. I was talking to Chris and he stated that depending on your motor setup you should be able to get around 600whp give or take but that woud be on 93 oct. Again we dont have any times on these cars at the track on pump gas because they all run race gas so it would be interesting to see what you can do if this is your goal!
As far as motor setups go we have had guys run the 2.1 drag motor, 2.3RR, and the 2.0 bottom ends with ported heads. Im sure now they will use the CNC head with the 42R turbo but we havent had any yet do to its new arrival on the market. We recommend a minimum of 93 oct for pump gas with this turbo setup. Please let us know if you have any further questions or feel free to call the shop and talk to a salesman and we can get you on your way.

The biggest difference in price is that the 2.1 does not have any core exchange program. If you were to buy a 2.0 with no core being sent in they star at $5150.00
Just about everything in the 2.1 is custom...but as the drag car shows, its all for a good reason

i made 976 on the ams gt42r kit, and ran out of fuel so i had to bring it back to 920... but i would have deff made well over 1000hp if i went with an additional pump.
