nothing wrong with ams in my book, owner is a z32 guy. If ms didn't patent his manifolds he made a bad business decision same with bde engine mounts and pipes are pipes. E85 and 20psi with that setup should see 500whp

[@Radwerkes]

That was exactly my thought process going into it. Had the mindset of quick, cheap and easy. but everything kicked my ass so hard on the install side of things 😂 I shouldn’t complain about any of it really.. but fit/finish along with I can’t help but think some of the pipes weren’t 100% in the right position for install has me a little jaded now lol. You’re right though, it should be good for that 500 number, I was hoping for like 400 area on pump

Pay the price for quality parts...cry once...The z32 is a japanese Ferrari. The reason why AMS is so frowned upon is because all they do is copy the quality stuff and farm it out to china. Meanwhile the person or shop that put in the R&D and spent all the money loses out every time.

Very true, if I was to do it again. I would have just re-used a lot of my stock parts and waited for the polar kits. unfortunately for my situation of when I bought all the parts they were the only ones labeled “in stock” which was a lie.. also money did have a factor to play but it is a ces’t la vie moment.
