AMS performance enters the Mercedes World: An Introduction
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

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.

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.

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.

We actually just put our E63 on one of our dynos (Dynojet) and it put down a very impressive 460whp.

Our car is a non performance pack car (we can take care of that) and it does indeed have the factory LSD.
I will keep you posted. We are still developing the GT-R, R8 and 997 so our guys are pretty busy back there but the Mercedes will get plenty of attention.
As far as tuning currently we do all our tuning in house... and I do mean in house. We spent a LOT of money and time to be able to do all software reprogramming right inside these walls. So when you buy an AMS tune you are not getting another tune resold with some other companies name on it. This is a tune written in house by the same guys responsible for writing the files for 1500hp cars.

Thank you again for the VERY warm welcome!
We hope our schedule allows us to do so in the next couple weeks. We have 1 of our 2 calibration specialist out of the country on a tuning trip, so things are a little tight in shop currently. We will be sure to post once it hits the dyno.

We have not discussed an E85 tune yet, but it's not out of the question. We will begin to see the stock fuel system limits as we begin pushing the platform.
I will try to have Mitch chime in when he gets time to touch on the E85.

What a great touring car with style but it desperately needs a tune.

No pressure but just so that you know, the car will be parked until I get a tune from you guys... LOL

I should have our tuning file built for the 5.5 pretty soon so I will keep you posted.
Last night they tuned a 2004 Continental GT and picked up 110whp. I can't wait to see what our E63 does
