We took our customer Mike, owner of Performance Chemicals LLC, 2006 Subaru STi out to Island Dragway. With the launch control set at 4800rpm, the vehicle bogged bad and still went 10.54et @ 143mph in a 1/4 mile only boosting 31psi. At this boost level the vehicle made 630whp. We turned the boost up and set the launch control higher. The clutch did not like this and never left the 60ft mark. To give you an example of this vehicles potential. The vehicle was tuned to 40psi and made 738whp.

April 3, 2009 (4-03-09)
-----------------------------------------------
We are nearing completion of our AMR Camshafts. We have 2 versions. After alot of R&D time we have come up with the perfect camshafts for the 2008 STi. The great thing about the 2008 STi is the DUAL AVCS. With the ability to tune both intake and exhaust cams all throughout the RPM band, we found the designed perfect camshafts that are not only a tuner\'s dream but a customers ticket to increasing SPOOL, RPM and POWER!
AMR V1 Camshafts: 272in / 272ex
- The AMR V1 *Steet/Strip* Cams have been designed for quicker spool, increase in torque, increase in horsepower and a power band (depending on supporting modifications) of 8000rpm. These cams are designed for anyone looking to make 400whp+ while maintaining daily drivability, steady idle and a normal vaccuum readings but wanting more power and a broader RPM band.
AMR V2 Camshafts: 278in / 278ex
- The AMR V2 *Race* Cams are the BIG BOY of camshafts. Specifically designed for HIGH HOSEPOWER, HIGH BOOST, HIGH RPM applications. With a power band up to 9,500rpm (with supporting modifications), these cams do not stop! Especially when higher octane, nitrous, high boost, methanol and/or E85 is thrown into the mix. When building a serious power-plant you are going to need a serious cam and we have designed just that.
AMR *BIG VALVE* Heads
- The AMR \"BIG VALVE\" heads are machined from a new OE castings. Fit with only the best in quality, we increase the intake and exhaust valves by +1mm (valves) along with some AMR porting done to the intake and exhaust ports. When mixed with AMR camshafts these heads are a great addition to a perfect recipe.

March 10, 2008 (3-10-08)
-----------------------------------------------
On Sunday we decided to take our 2008 AMR STi S2 went an amazing 12.48et @ 112mph. The car made 286whp on pump gas. So we turned the pilot up and got 300whp / 360wtq @ 24psi on 100octane / 93octane mix. The slip goes as follows:
Absolute Barometer: 30.61
Relative Humidity: 0
Temp: 37\'F
Head Winds: 40mph
60ft: 2.090
1/4: 12.483
