It was an upgrade that I wanted due to the problems that others experienced with the OEM Balancer. Kind of an insurance policy. This has been a learning curve. If you are doing the same build I recommend a few things. No Cats, Fuel System Upgrade (Larger Pump and Injectors than come with the ECS kit) Loose the Boost A Pump and Drag Radials. Don't make the mistakes that I have made.
I'm surprised you needed larger injectors. The ECS ones are ~80 lb./hr @ 58 psi I thought
That should be good for quite a bit of power..
Now, in hindsight I probably would have asked them to leave them out and ordered a set of ID's, but that's just me

Matt is working me a deal to trade out the ECS kit injectors for the larger ID-850 injectors. He is going to install the Fore Innovations triple pump with 8AN supply and return lines, filter, regulator, controller and pressure gauge. He will then tune it really conservatively to 750 RWHP. To do that he will probably have to lower the boost level.

Thanks for the recommendations. Do you recall the part number and cost for the ATI? I'm going to order one soon as my ECS kit is about to ship.

Because the car Blows the tires off in 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gear. It also breaks the tires loose at 120 Mph at approximately 5,000 Rpm in 4th gear on the interstate. Tire Spin at 120 Mph = Looking at the side of the persons car in the lane next to you thru your windshield. And I am the one that is Crazy? Thats why I have 305/35R-19 M/T Street Radials on my car. The car now Hooks in 1st Gear and is Way Faster Now.

I had to read it twice myself but I figured out what you meant.
At first I thought you were saying "lose the Boost A Pump and Drag Radials" but I know you meant "lose the Boost A Pump and ADD Drag Radials".

Well I gotta tell ya, I'm a firm believer in going straight at 120mph.
I just hope I can get mine home safely on street tires after Matt and the crew finish.
The 120 mile trip back to O-Town should be a real eye opener!

Not yet. In fact, we are heading that way in about 30 minutes! I'm dropping it off a little early as this is my day off and only chance to coordinate with a friend of mine who will come get me. The guys at FSP have a bucketload of parts to install so I'm hoping that 2 weeks should be all that I will have to wait.
I finally started a thread on my build instead of hijacking everyone else's!
I want to add pics real soon but it looks like substituting your pics will accomplish the same results!

My car has been there since we discovered the fuel problem. Hopefully they are well on their way installing my new Fore Innovations Triple Fuel System. Check it out "Cyber Grey 2011 C6" and let me know what it looks like.

I dropped mine off around 11am. Corvettes everywhere!
I think I recall seein yours out there, probly waiting for parts
They received my Super damper this afternoon, still waiting for the SC to arrive
Today FSP installed the ID-850 Injectors. Plumbed the fuel regulator and fuel rail. Their new in house Fab Shop fabricated the Custom Regulator bracket.
Today Karl of FSP is doing an Awesome Job finishing up the plumbing and wiring at the rear of the car. He is also putting the drivetrain back together.
A few more pictures of the Fore Triple Install. The guys at FSP did a Awesome Job. With the engine cover on it still looks pretty Stealth under the hood.
You can get good traction out of the right set of tires (R888, nt555r2, nt01, ect) without going to drag radials, sure you wont dead hook em from a dig.....but you will keep the great handling these cars are designed/known for.

Sorry for the confusion!
