If you havent seen it yet... AMS's 1000hp dyno run.

Seems like a worthless powerband. But still, 1000awhp is pretty cool.

It was for bragging rights only. The lag would be so bad, it's worthless on the street. I doubt it would be useful on the track without a lot of n2o helping to spool it up.

post before watching: "...how can it be slow? It's got a thousand horsepower!"

Because the turbo is so laggy... The RPM's are low, so it falls below spool between shifts, there for have to respool the turbo in every gear, and evo's gearing is quite short. Gauranteed he'd be in 5th passing the trap's at anything over 125+mph.


Its something like my car... If I dont NLTS, I have to respool the turbo in every gear, getting full boost around 7k. I have a vid I'm trying to get on the net that I will post up when I can. It looks pathetic. I rolled of the line, lifted to shift, ran a 13.7 @ 115. Its a worthless street car, but still holds its own. If I had a 2.3-2.4 in it, the car would blow balls in my opinion. I like to rev the piss out of it, thats the only reason I havent gone that route yet. Although when I do NLTS, I loose maybe 2psi of boost. So with a new clutch and possibly some new tires... 10's here I come. I cant even NLTS at 20psi or my clutch is toast. Thats basically the whole reason I didnt race today.

NLTS is an acronym I'm not familiar with, please expound.

WOT shifting... NTLS = No Lift To Shift.

Hold the gas to the floor and dont let up until the end of the run. Just push in the clutch and shift with the gas pedal floored.

No Light 'Till Sun-up

No Lift Till Shattered

No Lift To Shift


Take a guess.

[FattyBoomBatty]

Ok, I figured it was something alot those lines. How about Not Letting Turbo Spool.

How dare you say that? AMS is god and you mearly mentioning that this would be a worthless street car should get you banned!

AMS built what the customer wanted. They do things a bit different on their own car that has to get down the 1/4 mile quickly.
