Default Yes this board has finally got to me...Looking for advice

I'm thinking about picking up the AMS M-Box in the classifieds. Any thoughts, recommendations or general knowledge or experiences with this chip would be a big help. Also the ad says 310hp, is that a little high? I was under the impression it was a little more conservative than that. Seems like a good price for a complete ECU.

TIA!

Go for it. AMS is a solid chip. Not sure on the #s.

Default Pick up that Stage 3 (2+ in our terminology) MTM chip

MTM stage 3 with a 5 bar FPR is suppose to be pretty damn fast.

I've owned it & it's overrated. I'd say GIAC X is better choice.

Had the X but traded to the AMS for its smoothness.

Go to their website. They advertise that the chip increases the horsepower to 310.
