Thats what I want to know. I was leanning towards the E-boost 2 myself, until I was informed about this product. My car will see mostly street duty w/ DR's. I still think traction might be a problem

How easy is this to use/setup? Does it do the same as the E-boost 2? Or can you time delay/ramp for each gear as well?

I always set the regulator to 30-40psi over our top pressure you intend on running on the gates.

you do not have to use co2 pressure,you can hook it up to manifold pressure,however it is faster and more accurate with co2 pressure

the ams is way more accurate than any other boost controller-it monitors gate pressure to control boost-which is way more accurate and faster than monitoring manifold pressure.you can set stages and ramps based off of time or what ever gear you are in.I realize that the owners manual can be overwhelming but once you start using it,you start understanding quickly.

yes,you can do a delay and ramp for each gear.It is not hard to set up but time consuming-but once set up,changes are made really easy

If you have a way to send an output out based on wheelspin your in business.
the ams-1000 has a decrease boost feature/ As soon as you trigger this input it will instantly subtract the target pressure amount you have programmed under this from the the target pressure you are currently at. As soon as the input is removed it will go right back to where it was.

With the 500 or the 1000, is it possble to have boost based on speed? I have an M6 so I cant do it gear based without overcomplicating it.

the ams500 is a stripped down ams-1000. It offers 2 stages , one of them has a ramp that can be applied. The ams-1000 offers 6 stages and is much more flexible . I have a ams500 on my street car.

Either would work well for the street. The ams500 was designed as a street strip controller.

the ams1000 has a boost by voltage feature. If you can produce a 0-5 volt signal for a range of mph it will do it.
