659 horsepower to the wheels!!!!

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know about a turbo kit that we just dynoed here at our shop, and we were very impressed. We were impressed with the quality, fittment, horsepower, etc... It's the AMS GT35R kit. We are here at the shop right now and I am so excited about the kit, that I had to post about it. The car we dynoed is Al Friedman's ( We all know AL) evo - the DynoFlash Evo 8 which is currently on the cover of Turbo Magazine and which is also sponsored and worked on by our shop Pruven Performance, and before with the custom HKS turbo kit his car dynoed somewhere around 560 horsepower to the wheels (which by itself is impressive). All he did was bolt on the AMS turbo kit and change his cams to the same JUN 272 which we run in our shop Evo! He put down another 100 wheel horsepower with those 2 changes. Notice that the spool up is actually faster and by 5,000 rpms it is already making an additional 130 whp more than the old kit. I am very excited with his results as I have said earlier, and will be calling Martin at AMS for a turbo kit myself tomorrow. I hope they are in stock. So far it seems to be the perfect turbo kit. I can't wait to get it on our shop car! With a little bit of tuning and with the mods on our car, I don't see why we couldn't break 700 horsepower (without nitrous) fairly easily. Hopefully we can have this on our car by the big race on Sept 11th at Englishtown.
I am posting the dyno sheet to show the difference between the old turbo kit and the new one. It's very inspiring. I can't wait to see what Mr. Friedman runs at the track with this kit, then again I can't wait to see what we run either!! Thanks AMS for making a great turbo kit.

Here is a bigger view

Please note the little flat spot at 63 mph was the car violently spinning all 4 tires on our dyno, which is amazing as the tire pressure was lowered to 13 psi and they arte giant 255 40 17 Toyo RA 1 tires.

Is Al still using the AMS front mount on that pull?

If he is, AMS knows how to make their parts work together to make monster power !!!

Can't wait till it hits the tracks. I see ditching those Toyos for Slicks with that amount of power.

That thing is a beast. It's amazing the difference between power delivery and peak power compared to the HKS kit.
