AMS performance enters the Mercedes World: An Introduction

First and foremost thank you for taking the time out to read this. AMS Performance is a forced induction specialist that opened its doors a little over 10 years ago. In that time we have made major advancements and developments in the forced induction field.

Some of our more recent endeavors include the ALPHA GT-R performance packages www.alphagtr.com where we have pioneered several parts, packages and even broken a few records along the way.



Below are some videos of ALPHA GT-R's in action

Worlds Quickest and Fastest R35 GT-R. AMS ALPHA 12

Worlds fastest standing mile GT-R

First 9 second pump gas GT-R
http://youtu.be/bapuJYBRCIk





Enough with the GT-R though. The purpose of this thread is to announce our entrance into the Mercedes world. Just recently we picked up a new 2012 E63 AMG:









For those unfamiliar with AMS and what we do please allow me to give you a brief breakdown.

Unlike other tuning shops AMS is full service tuning facility and Part manufacturer. Just about every part that bears the AMS or ALPHA name is made right here in house at AMS.

Shop Tour Video:
http://youtu.be/K_tqa0CaOM0

We have a team of 30 highly skilled industry professionals. The best of the best in the industry!

Our in house engineering department is state of the art. We have the equipment to go from concept to design to finished part all inside these walls.

Below is sample of our GT-R turbo kit during the design process:

From Cad design using our CMM Arm















To Rapid prototype using our 3D printer:













To first casted samples:












And finally to finished product:



We pride ourselves on OEM quality, fit and finish. We believe a product should fit just as well or better than the stock component you are taking off...after all if you are upgrading shouldn't you upgrade ALL attributes of the component.

AMS Engineering Video:

When it comes to tuning we have you covered too. We not only offer tuning solutions for just about every car but we also do it all under our roof. We have two full time calibration specialists and two AWD dyno's allowing us to accommodate just about any customers need.



We really are a ONE stop shop for ANY of your performance needs.

So please stay tuned as we start developing performance packages for the 5.5L Twin Turbo Mercedes platforms and others.

Thank you again for taking the time to read and for considering AMS Performance.

Eric

We plan to have packages similar to our Alpha GT-R line. We are looking to see where the car will allow us to go without any compromises to its already amazing quality.

2006 Evolution IX
Considering what I currently drive and the fact that I've been an EvoM member for 5+ years I can say welcome to the forum, AMS!

When I came over I was a bit dissapointed at the "Quickest/Fastest" list since Evo's run 9's on stock block and street trim, 8's in street trim and built internals/weight reduction!

Hopefully you can get the AMG's somewhere in that ballpark but I do realize it'll be a challenge.

Are you looking at possibly working with Haltech or AEM to get an EMS put on the car? If not, what will you be using as a tuning solution?

Considering that Renntech stage 2 package is turning out 700 HP and just cracked the 10s 1/4 mile with just a tune and down pipes I can only begin to imagine the gains when you start playing with the turbos (upgrades).

Will definitely be following your progress.

Hey guys- this is a sponsor's welcome thread, get out of here if you are going to muddy it up.

Start your own thread if you have a factual or beneficial opinion that will benefit us all. Thanks.

AMS- Im gonna clean up this thread a little so you may not understand why I posted this.

Can't wait to see some huge numbers come out of that E63!

Is that a non-performance pack car?

Do you have the factory LSD?

Just curious
