Martin Musial has been
involved with engine tuning for many years and has done thousands
of cars ranging from street driven cars, road race competition
cars, and over 1000hp drag cars. His approach to tuning emphasizes
reliability while extracting the most out of engine performance.
"What
many people don't realize is there is so much more to an engine
tune than just WOT and peak horsepower. If the car is a dedicated
drag car that might be ok, but for 99% of car owners it's not.
Everything from driveability, cold start, fuel economy, and
even idle quality make any car enjoyable and safe to drive.
These areas of tuning are many times overlooked and are actually
the most time consuming and difficult to perfect. WOT tuning
can take a few hours, while driveability and running quality
of the car can take a whole day sometimes. OEM engine calibrators
literally have hundreds of hours in tuning the factory ECU
so that it’s as perfect as it can be,
this can not be replicated in one hour of dyno tuning no matter
what anyone tells you.
I do my
best to make sure a car will drive, start, idle the same if
not better than a stock ECU. The
only limiting factors of driveability sometimes involve engine
management systems with limited functions and extreme engine
modifications. A piggy back ECU controller or radical
camshaft selection can prevent 'OEM like' driveability.
Another
tuning aspect I'd like to discuss is reliable horsepower. I'd
rather enjoy 400 horsepower for the life of my car rather than
440 horsepower for 10 passes, wouldn’t
you? Since most of my customers run on pump gas, I carefully
take into consideration the ability to make horsepower
while minimizing detonation. Detonation will kill an engine,
and the severity of it will determine when the fun will
stop. It's a ticking time bomb and my goal is to diffuse
it. My tuning process involves starting conservatively
and then increasing power while carefully monitoring the
knock sensor output and reading spark-plugs. I make sure
that with my tune, the customer can throw almost any kind
of abuse at the engine and it will survive."

Chris Black has tuned everything from the world record holding AMS Drag and Time Attack cars to tuning countless other race and street cars. His attention to detail allows him to tune cars for the best drivability, longevity and horsepower available.
"There are so many cars being tuned at AMS from our various race cars, employee cars and customer’s cars the dyno is a very busy piece of equipment. Because of the wide range of systems and vehicles I am involved with I get a chance to learn something new about forced inducted cars almost every day. Every car is a challenge in some way.
Tuning is a process which involves complex problem solving. There is never a cookie cutter solution that can be adequately applied to each and every car that comes through the door. Even cars with ordinary or basic modifications get tweaked, poked and prodded until I am absolutely certain that it is running at its highest potential.
Tuning isn’t a one man job either. Many times when there are problems with a vehicle on the dyno other AMS employees get involved to help solve the problem from our technicians to our engineers on staff. At AMS we will find any mechanical issues or drivability problems and fix them before the customer ever has a chance to notice them not just “tune around” the problem. The end result is a car that makes great power, has great drivability, runs the way it should and does so for a long time.
Because of the amount of knowledge we have between our 30+ person staff, I believe we have a leg up on any other tuning shop. With our extensive research, development and testing occurring every day not to mention the countless builds over the past 8 years have given us an immense amount of data and information which we use to solve almost any problem quickly and efficiently. In short, we know what works, how it works, and how to use it to our advantage. Our attention to detail and our drive to succeed gives the customer the best final product possible."

TUNING RATES
Finally a solution for those of you that would like to flash your car but DO NOT want to send out your ECU. I am proud to announce a new addition to our flash services that comes directly to YOU! Previously if you wanted one of our tried and true, extensively tested, safe and high horsepower tunes for your car you either had to send your ECU directly to us or spend hundreds of dollars on equipment you most likely would only use once!
Now those of you with mildly modified cars need only pick up the phone to receive our special flashing kit which will be mailed directly to your door. Included in the kit is everything you need to flash your Ralliart or EVO X ECU, complete with detailed instructions that ANYONE can follow.
The best part of all is that it won’t cost you any more than a regular base flash from AMS would! $495 covers the price of the flash and shipping to and from your residence, and we even include a free shipping return label so that you can just drop the system back in the mail at your nearest local shipping depot. (There is a deposit required for the equipment which will be returned to you immediately upon the equipment’s safe arrival).
In order to get your hands on this new offering from AMS you need to call in so we can schedule your shipment. (847) 709 0530
The service is currently available for:
2009 Mitsubishi Ralliart Turbo
2008-2009 Mitsubishi EVO X
2008-2009 Mitsubishi EVO X MR
This will gain you between 50 and 75 horsepower and 30 to 80 ft lbs of torque depending on your specific car and the modifications that are currently installed! More information about your specific vehicle is available when you call in to schedule your shipment.
This means there are now three ways you can get a little AMS inside your ECU:
1. Mail your ECU, we take care of the rest and all you need to do is plug it in!
2. We mail you a compact flashing system so that you can flash your car at home with no down time!
3. You can contact me via email and I can send you a calibration which you can use with the very popular Tactrix cable.
