+1

For me the main attraction of the N54 engine is precisely its NA-like response time. I wouldn't want to trade bigger power for a lot bigger turbo lag. But I'm optimistic AMS won't allow that...!

With what Rob has said he has up his sleeve I doubt spool will be affected much at all.

We don't know how far we can push the factory fueling system just yet. We are looking into upgrades as well.

that's what they've all said

akira42 · 03-20-2009, 05:39 PM

Is this an upgrade? Or a replacement?

Eric@AMS · 03-20-2009, 06:38 PM

this would be an upgrade. Cores would need to be sent in. However we plan on having units here already upgraded to keep down time to a minimum. Also you will be given the option of paying a core charge if you wish to either keep your stock cores or send them in after the swap for a core refund.

Nice. Might be a bit soon, but can you speculate on pricing?
