Default With the bad press that AMS has been recieving lately I wanted to give credit where credit is due

AMS Stage V kit w/ Installation = $7970
StopTech Big Brake kit = $2595
MARC/AMS Rebuilding S4 Transmission = $2100
MARC/AMS working on my car to get it ready for the Nor CAL SO CAL meet from noon till 9am the following day = PRICELESS


Quite contrary to belief I do NOT work for AMS anymore. I used to work with them back in 1994/5 and have since then just consulted on their computer systems and helped out a when possible with sales. I truly believe in their work not only because I know them but because I have seen their quality through and through in lots of other cars not only mine. Given nobody is perfect and by all means I'm not trying to say AMS is the perfect tuner. But they completely rank up there in the higher echelon of tuners in my book. Not only has Marc been around tuning cars for over 10 years, but now he's the North American Distributor for a prestigious tuner ABT...

SO with much gratitude I just want to say thanks to Marc and the crew at AMS in front of all you guys since we all share our stories here....

Default nope

i could have sworn that josh@achtuning said that the "stage III" kit from AMS was 8K for parts alone... and another 2000 for installation...

in any case, if it REALLY is "only" 8K.. muhahaha.....
