Default Finally ECS

Well I was finally able to get down to ECS to drop the car off being there was no white stuff on the ground.
I'm in the process of doing the following
TTIx kit
Forged 383 9.4.1
AFR 225's
Special grind bump stick thanks to Phil
75# injectors
Zeintronics
Blitz
Aqua mist alky injection
Clutch
Hardened output shafts
DTE brace
Return line fuel system with some other goodies
New exhaust
Mini tub

Were going to set the car up @ 9 psi for running around town and 14 psi for special parties.

Since I decided to pull the trigger back around the 1st of the year all that I've been doing is handing Chris checks. It's funny every time I've given him money he's refused it!

Car should be done in 2-3 weeks, I'll post the dyno then unless Chris beats me to it.

They keep my credit card number on file as a convenience for me. Sounds like you’re going to have a terrific setup. Do you have a target hp number in mind?

Ok so I was a little bit anxious - I just hope I was not out of line asking you to hold the phone up to my car so I could tell it goodnight

They do have telephones in Michigan. I hope your install isn't going to distract him from my alcohol tuning.

I beg to differ Chris.
When I asked you how long to do all the work you said two weeks so I added a week to be on the safe side.

Hey that's OK if you can't do it within the time frame you said being I had this all set up with you the first of the year let me know when you want me to get a flatbed to pick up my ride!

Jay,

You misunderstood Chris. It's 2-3 weeks to install the roll cage, right Chris? He meant 2-3 months for the engine. j/k
