AMS Alpha 12 R35 GT-R: World Record - 1300+ WHP ‪AMS Alpha 12 R35 GT-R: World Record 9.05@166.66mph‬‏ - YouTube
Upon completion of dyno testing we took the car to our local drag strip where the weather was not much more favorable. Scorching sun, 90 degree track temps, a density altitude of 2745 and high humidity proved to produce very slick conditions. Still we agreed that the package had to be placed through the most brutal of conditions to ensure the integrity of the new ALPHA 12 package.
It was at the track our Special Projects Technician, Ivan Phipps subjected the GT-R to no less than 10 drag passes. The car was run over and over again producing times in the 9.0 to 9.2 range and all over 160mph.
The ALPHA 12 GT-R was spinning all four tires all the way through 4th gear on every run and not getting 100% traction until fifth gear. Even in these conditions the AMS ALPHA 12 GT-R was able to reset the ET And MPH with a 9.052@166.66 pass.
During that pass, our V-box recorded a verified 60-130mph time of 3.46 seconds making it one of the fastest accelerating street cars ever recorded.
We have plans to go back to the track very soon under better track and weather conditions to hopefully improve out time. Stay tuned!
Below is the dyno chart from last nights session. Peak boost was 35 psi as it was run today. The car can run more boost but with traction being an issue we never had a chance to raise it. I have also attached the time slip from the best pass at the track.

World Record 9.05@166.66mph
Recently we took our updated ALPHA 12 to the track to do some more testing. As of recent, the limits of the factory block had been reached and our engineers went to work to devise a new way of reinforcing the engine. To prove our new method, we knew we had to put the updated ALPHA 12 package through a series of Grueling tests. The car was placed on the dyno for over three hours in 100 plus degree heat where it produced over 1300whp at 35 psi of boost. World Record 9.05@166.66mph

lol no we have pics but I will be doing one better and putting a video up soon
Here is a stock to ALPHA 12 graph. It is important to note this was done in two separate gears. The ONLY stock 2009-2011 GT-R we had on file with the dynojet was done in 3rd gear whereas the ALPHA 12 was done in fourth. This would have a VERY minor effect on the spool of the stock car....nothing dramatic though. Its still pretty remarkable with this comparison how quick the ALPHA 12 engine setup spools up!
