Going to be running predominantly 1/8 mile (local DR class). Low 5s would be nice

If Tim Linch uses it, THEY WORK. I think its the best boost controller hands down. We use NOS for a presure source, because all tracks will have NOS if you run out or have a leak.

Most should have CO2 also since its commonly used for air shifters and whatnot...at least my local track does

I have heard from some folks that the MSD boost controller is more accurate and consistant than the ams 1000. Anyone using it?

What are the advantages of the AMS-1000? Do you engine management systems not have the ability to control boost?

well my GT47 pretty much "just fit" and this monster is definately bigger. compressor is about .75-1" bigger in diameter and the turbine is HUGE.
