Default Why no AMS 250?
I think I am going to email them and ask them why they don't come up with a 250. I really like their machines and have had really good luck with them but want more power!

look at this thread. I get my performance parts from McDounough powersports. Eric is a great guy to deal with and usually stocks all the parts. I may start selling performance parts some day.

Actually, that carbide was powered by a regular ol' go kart engine. If they came out with something like a carbide or a helix powered by something like a SYM 250, that would be really awesome.

AMS runs their company almost like Tomberlin, The select a product that can be sold more quickly to the large retailers. Both companies are toying with a 250 option but both have not jumped in the game yet.

If you want more power on the 150's there is plenty of options to bring these little monsters up into the 40's and even 50's if you want to spend the money on the upgrades
