Agree, that was my only complaint on the car, it just seemed to be lacking power and torque, even with the factory numbers it just didn't seem as quick as it should be. But man those numbers are awesome with only 4.5 psi, I mean it straight slaughtered stock performance. There was a tuner trying to TT one but they were having issues with cracking/tuning the ecu on these cars.

 

I agree.

 

Good luck with the ESX kit. I'm glad to see the interest in charging this car is so great.

Its a Vortec V3 and yes the Larini Cats make the car louder and racier sounding.

 

Thanks. I assume you have fuse 22 pulled or removed the vacuum lines to the actuators??? It sounds awesome!

Great results with the ESX kit!!
Very impressive results for such a low boost level!


I'm sure you are having a blast in that car! Sounds like this is the solution to underpowered AMV8's!

 

No, I've left fuse 22 in place.

 

Don't tell anyone, but I have a smaller pulley as well!

 

That's great...I want one. Seems like traction is an issue because it's really not any faster until you get over 50 mph, based on your graphs. A set of sticky 295s would probably make a difference...or better yet, 305s. With a good hook-up you could probably hit 0-60 in the low 4s and the 1/4 in the high 11s.

So is PES going to step up and make a supercharger kit, too, or is the ESX kit going to be the only one? The interest is there...

 

Im pretty sure you will see a SC system from PES. Right now we have the Audi 4.2 kit in production and the new M3 kit in the initial stages of development. I believe that we can retail a kit for the AMV8 for around $10K complete. Right now the main issue is getting a car. We already have alot of hardware that we own. When one or two of our current development cars is sold that will make room for the AM. We are trying to speed up the process by working on a cooperative effort between PES and a local dealer or an AM owner. We work very well well with either.

 

Mmm look at the A/F like its going rich then lean then rich. Knocking??

 

Tony,
Have you called FC Kerbeck? I believe they are the closest to you. I think that they would be receptive. I have heard that they are reasonable in this regard. Let me know if you have had any contact with them and what their response included. I think that they are always looking for revenue streams.

 

Damn Those are nice numbers on an AM!

 

i was a aston, rolls, bentley , maserati, lambo tech at Kerbeck before i came over here . i would like to think that we could be good together . they have some really great sales people over therer ( Mark W. ) he deals with the astons. if any one is looking to buy one and have us charge it foor them

 

Very nice!
