Up The Irons! AMS Performance "Madness" Iron Maiden Tribute Hearse

Eddie from Iron Maiden's Album "Number of the Beast" depicted hear on the back hatch of the AMS Performance "Madness" Hearse.

We’re celebrating Halloween with a ghoulishly good run at the edge of darkness from AMS Performance’s PTP-Protected Chevy Caprice, better known as the Iron Maiden tribute “Madness” Hearse! Arne Tomen’s fitting tribute to Eddie has the competition running to the hills now that it currently holds the world record for fastest hearse on the planet with a mind-shattering time of 9.5 seconds and a top speed of 146 mph on the quarter mile pass.

The Iron Maiden Madness Hearse is a fully functional Chevy Caprice outfitted as a hearse, complete with coffin loaded in the back.

This twin-turbo, Garrett-boosted, 1,100 hp trooper is also hauling a fully functional casket and running PTP Lava Turbo Blankets.

Comprehensive testing of performance benefits of PTP Turbo Blanket by UT Austin Engineering

In early 2013, UT Austin’s Engines and Automotive Research Program initiated a series of comprehensive tests and analysis of the performance benefits associated with the usage of a PTP turbo blanket on a 6.7L Cummins diesel engine.

The results are in! UT Austin researchers stated in their report, Performance Improvements of Turbocharged Engines With The Use of a PTP Turbo Blanket, that, “…[i]n all cases [PTP turbo blanket usage] resulted in an improved boost performance in the intake and a significant time-to-torque advantage of the engine . . .” (p.V)” and that “the key feature of the PTP Turbo Blanket was improvement of turbocharger performance and engine acceleration which will result in improved vehicle acceleration.” (p.31).

Soft copies of the report are available upon request. Please email your request to info@ptpturboblankets.com.
