Definately get some cams. They will compliment your turbo nicely. You'll pick up about 25-30 h.p.

Sweet mods man....you should really consider getting some head bolts and rod bolts. People who are pushing 400+whp daily should definitely get that done cause if the factory ones give, which they will under high boost, you will be in a world of ****.

I just look at what is proven to produce big numbers and perform well. I never said that ETS stuff was bad.

I did not say that you should buy an AMS 50 trim turbo....

All I said is that everyone I know who is running the VSR and producing big numbers. If you look at a magnus intake vs the VSR in person you would not have made that comment.

All I did was throw my opinion's out there. I was one of the first AMS customer to run 500 whp on a 50 trim with a non built 2.0 and a flash, I know what this guy is going through. The parts that are the on car are AMS true that but look at AMS track record, no one has been able to touch them in that lovely 1/4 mile that we all love to go down.

There is something to be said about going fast cheap, but cheap does not always mean quality.

Just my .02

good luck with the build...

I read the AMS VSR holds up to higher boost. the magnus one can't hold it . . .

Look at the qaulity first of all. Produces more power, holds up better under circumstances. The ease of running a dual fuel rails...... the list can go on and on. Again, I like things that are proven. How many cars do you know that are running 10's or below that are running a Magnus intake. I would guess that the numbers are probably in the 8-1 in AMS favor. I will start a thread on this and we will see if it goes anywhere.

Each to his own.....

Asking that question brings us another : who is really better Bushur racing or AMS?

Each to his own. Again there is something to be said about fast cheap however there is nothing good cheap that is good quality.
