C350 Performance Pulley Dyno Tester...

Hello W204 owners,

AMS is currently looking for a C350 dyno tester for the M272 application. The dyno tester must be located near a Dyno Dynamics brand dyno. In exchange for dyno testing a substantial discount will be provided. Please Email for more info (MBworld email link is fine).

Have a nice day
~AMS~

the discount is only $100. And I had to do the Dyno testing myself, before and after, which will cost more than $100. The price for the pulley after discount is $500. I don't think it's worth the money for extra 7 to 10 hp.

Fair enough, We will extend the discount to $150 for the first 3 dyno testers. After that no more dyno discount will be offered.

Furthermore you have to understand, crank pulley is the only modification that gives you full torque gains directly off idle, No other mod can do this, or make such strong low end to mid range torque gains. Don't let the number fool, "meat under the curve" has a much more drastic impact than some irrelevant peak HP number. If you want real acceleration you can feel then crank pulley is the way to go. In addition, No dyno can really measure the "lightweight flywheel" effect that mass reduction has, you can only feel that road yourself (As Trutaing described in his review)

This offer will not be valid for long.

according to Dyno Dynamic, it will cost us minimum $150 to do both before and after testing. The discount is only enough to cover the testing.
I think to be "TESTER" for your product, you should give a discount that can actually save us money on the part.
If the discount is only enough to cover the test, I would rather wait for someone else to get tested, see the result and get the product for the same amount of money. I save time and energy to do the dyno test. Don't you agree?
If you pay for the Dyno Test and on top of that a $150 discount, that will be more like it.

Quite honestly if you're looking to attract guineapigs for a new product you need to make it worth the customer's while. I understand not completely giving away a supercharger/turbo system, but a crank pulley? Considering the fact that you're asking the customer to perform the before/after dyno on their own dime, coupled with the economic environment, IMO it should be given to the willing participant. If you are willing to spring for the before/after dyno, I'd consider a 50% discount to be fair. My 2cents...

Sorry, we cannot accept that request. No other tuner will give you a dime to test their products so the fact that we are already giving $150 off is way too much as is. If you do not want to test it thats fine but we do not respect low ball offers, considerable time & energy go into our products and honestly $150 is too much as is. Many customers have participated in our Dyno rewards program and not a single customer has complained about the price, so the fact that I am now paying 100% for the dynos is more than fair. The offer will end Jan 31st, after that there will be no discount.


Thank you

Hello Micro,

They are already for sale, you can view our product page here:

AMS Performance Crank Pully Info

Installation various on the shop and the shop, typical installation rates are between 1-2 hours (at least thats what they charge you, it usually only takes 30-60 min for actual install).

Hope that helps,
~AMS~

I think the proper way to do this is that you spend $40,000 buying a C350 and test your product 1st and sell us a guranteed product after.
I agree with what Vic350 said, we are being the Guinea Pig risky voiding our warranty to do this. $150 discount probably will already be given to the future group buy already. No one pays full price on a product on this forum.

Whats the whole story on this:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c36-amg-c...y-install.html

Apparently you (AMS) was banned before because of using other usernames to up the rep of your product?

No, a bunch of lies have been made about us (some of which we suspect are our competitors).

We only have one user name, this name. We have never been banned from any forum. We did leave Benzworld simply b/c that forum was dead and traffic on it has dropped significantly so now we switched over to MBworld which is the most active mercedes forum.

Glad we could clear up some of the misconceptions for you, thanks

I know someone who purchased your product for their S500 and it started to wobble and make noises, i completely agree with yxc145 as he is valid in his points in my opinion.

If you want to "test" your product, that shows that you are unsure of the actual results of it. Why should we "risk" our cars for the sake of your profit?

I personally havent read much about your product and so called "lies" so you had a clean slate with my opinion, however based on how your answering some questions, it doesnt seem very welcoming, if you can't even handle these questions, how will you handle.....say a warranty concern?

At first I was excited to see someone was making a pulley, but i think ill wait until there is enough evidence it is a reliable product, $150 is a joke considering the risk you want us to take to test it.

There is no risk involved, its been tested time and time again. I have had many 55 AMG owners use my pulleys (some for multiple years now). We stand by our products and our customers and have a life time warranty on all our products of course.

We have found our dyno tester, thanks guys.

white and whiter
curious if this is a different diameter pulley? same size pulley makes little to no difference imo other than giving impression of lighter throttle response.
