AMS Automatic Mirage Makes 826 WHP!!

[scottr126]

Today I finally got the Mirage on the dyno. Last weekend I took the car to the track and it threw a rocker and destroyed a cam on the first pass. I put a new set of GSC S3's in and was pleasantly surprised with the results. It made 826 whp and 492 tq. uncorrected. In standard correction it was about 845 whp. The car overall feels really strong and I should be going to the track soon..

looks freakin awsome, i love it. great numbers. can't what to see the track times.

 

[TSIMonsteR]

awesome. I love the artwork on the back! I'm guessing someone is a maiden fan?

 

[eclipsed4seed99]

Very nice numbers.

 

[toofast82]

Nice numbers and car!
Probably close to 1000whp in a 5spd right?
What does the car weigh? What times are you shooting for?

Over 1000 to the crank for sure, probably in the 900-950whp range in a 5sp.

That powerband is ridiculous. Making under 300whp at 6k RPM, and finally making peak power damn near 10k

My boss Arne, he loves Maiden, damn near their #1 fan. He has helped me a ton with the car.

The car weighs a little under 2500 lbs w/o me or any gear in it. Shooting for Mid-Low 8's. Last years best was 8.96@155

The power delivery through a torque converter is definitely late.

Just added a quick video I whipped up.

Nice JOb! I love a clean engine bay. +1 on the Maiden artwork that is freakin Awesome.

Looking great Scott! I cannot wait to see it down at the track this year when I get my car done!

Good luck with the times too! BTW, are you intending on going to the DSM shootout with it this year?

 

[scottr126]

I am not sure yet. The shop is already commited to the e-town event so I most likely will be attending that.

[El_Potter]

wOW... AMAZING. WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT IN PERSON.

 

[bluegs03]

that thing is most definitely evil...

 

[2turbo4u]

why is the torque numbers so low almost like a honda?

 

[scottr126]

Because it has a torque converter and automatic trans between the engine and the wheels

why is the torque numbers so low almost like a honda?

 

[2turbo4u]

I understand that it's an automatic but my auto gs300 w/2jzgte makes 381/346tq, and I have seen some set ups with even spot on numbers i.e(390/387). So your telling me your tq converter is robbing your car of over 300 lbs tq? Don't these motors come 195/205 stock ?

 

[LongJonSilver]

that thing looks like a beast

 

[LucasEnglish]

Well TQ is just math off of hp at 5250rpm so the later the power the less the TQ. So since the stall of the converter at full power ends up in the 7-8k range the TQ is way low. The car will always be at the peak hp all the way down the track though so that is why autos are so crazy fast for the power make.

X hp at X RPM is always the same TQ

[94awdcoupe]

Thanks.

[scottr126]

I parted it out and sold the rolling shell to a gentleman in Vegas. Last I saw it was nicely painted white but havent seen anything since.
