There’s no doubt that the AMS-2000 is hands down the best controller on the market. However over its 1000 counterpart, the 2k is not a very street friendly controller do to how it’s configured, and how it needs to be triggered to activate a boost ramp.
After LOTS of testing, we’ve been able to get it to be a repeatable, streetable, boost controlling monster.
But aside from having a 5 position switch to select boost levels on the fly, probably the most amazing part of this unit is having the capability to ramp in boost based on speed. Which until now, unless you had an expensive stand alone, it wasn’t an option. And for the average mid HP street ridden bike, this could very possibly be the best boost strategy to use. Anyone who has, or has ridden even a stage 1, 250hp Busa sitting at less then 4” knows that it’s usually a spin fest, or a power wheeling pogo stick if you don’t easy in to it.
Well we were finally able to install and test a unit on a bike we just recently finished up, and the results are incredible. Never in my life have I ever been able to stab a swb, 400hp bike from a 60 roll in second gear, and not have to worry about the front coming up. This is hands down the smoothest, most predictable bike I have ever ridden.
I personally feel that we could of gotten a little more aggressive with the boost ramp but being the customer isn’t going out and racing for YouTube fame, it’s set up just right.
A little explanation of how it works. The bike pulls the front end with anything over wastegate pressure (8 psi, 230 whp) right up to about 65mph. It’s only after that we started adding boost till it stated to wheelie again. Then repeated the process to what landed us at the full 410hp being applied at ~150 mph.
So here’s a little CGI video from Pixar demonstrating what should happen in real world conditions. (No chains or tires were harmed in this video... because this is CGI... **wink)
A little more info on the car. It’s a 6th gen Camaro with the 6 speed auto. It makes 920 whp on boost, and just over 1100 whp on nitrous. Anyone who follows the new Gen 5 LT stuff knows how insane these new cars are. Those cars make power and use it way more efficiently then previous generations.
The car was spraying off the hit, and still the bike stayed by its side even with the boost being low off the hit.
NOW we really want to do the same set up on a higher HP bike that’s longer, lower and on a better tire. We could get way more aggressive on the boost ramp. But we’ll have to wait for that opportunity to come along. (Cough cough SERENITY...)
