AMS Drag car pics

Never seen a setup like this. Very interesting.

Re: AMS Drag car pics

That was what they were using for their 1000hp on 100oct contest entry. They ended up ditching the twin-turbo setup at the last minute and going single due to time constraints. Looked sorta promising though.

Re: AMS Drag car pics

I saw this in a mag just the other day. Its crazy.

Re: AMS Drag car pics

Sequential turbo is what it looks like to me. Have you guys seen the new paint sceme? ICK! I will post up some pics if anyone wants me to..

Re: AMS Drag car pics

the turbo setup looks bigger than the motor itself. holy balls!

Re: AMS Drag car pics

Holy shit that's a big turbo.

Re: AMS Drag car pics

Crazy sequential turbo setup! It looks like they were going to use gates to route the exhaust after the big turbo spooled, as well as one in the intake of the big turbo so they could pressurize it. Pretty crazy idea and great execution, too bad they didn't pursue it further.

Re: AMS Drag car pics

that looks crazier than the supercharger+turbo setup someone did a while back. Did they ever start trying to tune it or did they scrap it before that?

Re: AMS Drag car pics

ams also killed everyone in that competition. 517hp per liter!

Re: AMS Drag car pics

Sick, been a lot of talk of sequential turbos lately in the dsm world

Re: AMS Drag car pics

What's that a Myspace profile on the drivers' door? I'm sure they were paid pretty good for that scheme.

looks like a missing persons report.

Re: AMS Drag car pics

So were they trying for more low end? Or would it have run more like a staged turbo setup to get more boost out of the big turbo? Nice fab work as always.

Re: AMS Drag car pics

It's sequential, smaller turbo to help spool up the bigger turbo. Which in their case was needed. haha

Re: AMS Drag car pics

I would love to see a sequenchal setup on a DSM i think it would be new ground. Hell maybe in 2020 putting a sequenchal setup will be the new 16g

Re: AMS Drag car pics

the competititon judged also on powerband. so that was why martin thoight to do the sequential. but money and time to develop didnt allow that to work. so a single 4202 was used with no backpressure bein the name of the game.

Its from when AMS did the Fireball run, every car had a missing child sticker on it and they kept it and put it on the drag car.

AMS TO COMPETE IN THE FIREBALL RUN TRANSCONTINENTAL RALLY!

100 Teams, 9 days, 3500 miles….1 goal, find America’s missing children!

This year AMS was asked to be a part of a really great cause. The Fireball run is a transcontinental adventure road rally focused on finding missing children. The Fireball Run is kind of like a high-end golf game; the goal is to solve clues, accomplish missions, accumulate points, HAVE FUN and FINISH!

There are some racing events along the way with some serious competition. Last year saw everything from Corvette’s to Lamborghini’s to Viper’s and even a Ford GT. There are 2 Autocross Events, a Time Attack, a Drag Race and a Police vs. Fireballers Challenge during the 9 day adventure.

Awards are given for overall winning scores as well as class winners. There are several “special” awards for any number of things… such as spirit, most fun, best dressed, big spender, and worst luck.

The most important task of the week’s events is to find missing children. Fireball Run has joined forces with The Child Rescue Network to use the rally's massive media exposure to help locate America’s missing children. Each Fireball Run team is assigned a different missing child. The mission; distribute as many posters as possible along the 3500 mile journey from the Baton Rouge Louisiana to the finish line in Grand Rapids Michigan.

You too can assist in the recovery of America's missing children and ultimately reunite them with their loving families by reviewing our missing children list, supporting your favorite team's effort, and of course by donating to the Child Rescue Network. www.ChildRescueNetwork.org

AMS will be competing in our new graphite grey EVO X. The car will be outfitted with all of our off the shelf bolt on parts and a few other goodies. Martin, Tim and Frank will be taking on the daunting task of piloting this car across 3500 miles of American roads and spreading the word about our sponsored missing child.
This year’s Fireball Run has an 80’s theme. We are decking out our Mitsubishi EVO X in the full Top Gun theme we are known for. In additional we will have a full color decal of our missing child on the car.

AMS is extremely honored to be a part of this event and we are really excited to take our EVO X across the country with the other 99 teams. The roster is a pretty serious group with some really nice cars all with one goal in mind, to have fun and help get the word out about missing children.

Stay tuned for more updates from AMS in the fireball run on our racing blog at http://amsracingblog.com/?cat=18
