And yet another attaboy going out to the apostles at East Coast Supercharging! (known
Well, My Vette has been very good this year so I rewarded it with a visit to ECS for one of Doug's street tunes and some maintenance today. On earlier reward visits the apostles have installed AR headers, high flow cats, x pipe and C5Z Ti catbacks, and 4.10 diff gears. I had installed a Callaway Honker CAI and C6Z shifter shortened even more than it was. Saint John installed a 160 degree stat today before giving my car to Doug Ring (the electronics tech wizard behind the great tuning done in house at ECS) who tuned the car on the road to work his magic. As soon as I pulled out of the pearly gates of ECS and onto the road I immediately felt the power increase and smooth ramp of throttle response that the car has since Doug's tuning session. The car drives as if 500 pounds has been removed from it and I'm VERY impressed with the results. I also saw an increase of fuel economy on my 60 mile ride back home on the turnpike. A big "Thank You" to Saint Doug, Saint John, Saint Chris, Saint Mike 69, Saint Mike, Saint Fran and the rest of the ECS apostles. And although Saint Marc was absent (good excuse, He's getting married tonight!) and not responsible for any of my C5's performance gains today, I wish for him and his new Bride the best of a wonderful life together and many happy times in their future. Congrats Marc!!

You guys are lucky to have ECS in your backyard. I drove 1100 miles one way to drop my car off to someone I can trust more than myself to work on my car 
Drive safe and enjoy Ed
Congrats to Marc!
