AMS Pikes peak build!
Things have been really chaotic here at the shop this week. It seems all we have been working on are purpose built race cars. Well this is no exception. On monday Dave Kern and his AMS sponsored Pikes peak winning rally car showed up for an upgrade to say the least.
Dave and Allison were able to take first place in the time attack division at pikes peak last year and put in an AMAZING showing at rally events all over the Colorado area last year
Dave is putting aside the stock engine and 330whp in trade for an AMS built 2.3 stroker motor and all the fixins!
The AMS / NOS energy Pikes peak car getting a new power plant 
what Mr Kern see's as Alison (his wife) and himself pilot this car up 14,000 feet!
Danny our technician performing the work on the car
The old motor out and ready for the new power plant!
New AMS 2.3 Stroker motor complete with a prototype AMS F1-I intake manifold
Mr Kern himself juuuuuuust a bit excited for the switch
AMS fuel surge tank system now installed
New AMS motor about to be hoisted in.
The new power plant in the car complete with AMS WRC TR30R V-band Turbo kit
Most of Dave's races require him to run a 34mm restrictor. To combat this we sourced a Garrett motorsports TR30R designed to work with a 34mm restrictor
Stay tuned as the season progresses to see how Dave and Allison's new found power rockets them through the dirt in upcoming rally events

Its kinda funny because I just got back to work today after spending 4 days in Colorado, where Dave is from.
After seeing what he has done with what he had, compared to what is in store this year........
My GOD what this man, his wife and his car will be capable of doing will be nothing short of spectacular!

Where are the updated pictures...you guys don't actually need sleep, do you? 
On a serious note, thanks to all for putting in a hell of a long day!! Its been great to see the car go back together piece by piece and watch the parts development/engineering. The attention to detail these guys have is amazing and I'd swear they've got a robot welding in the back room, but I can't seem to find it.  Serious skills on the fabrication team.
One quick thing to note is that the turbo inlet on the picture shown is the inlet we'll be using for events that don't require a restrictor. The 34mm restrictor really looks like a straw in comparison...a 34mm opening is just plain tiny.
