Default First trip to ECS...

Last month I finally got away from the f-bodies & M*****gs and joined the C5 family. I have never been so happy/impressed with a car before. I've been researching as much as I can through all of you guys.I know I want more power but couldn't decide upon what way to go.
Yesterday I said F**K it I went down to ECS met up with Chris and the crew(after driving past the shop the 1st time) . After discussing all available options I just decided to lay on my back and let the ****** go to work I decided to GET BLOWN!!!
Great bunch of guys very knowledgable and helpful. I seen alot of sweet C5's there giving me other ideas/plans for the future. I'm just sitting here in anticipation waiting to GET BLOWN and shoot a load.

Is it weird to be this excited or is Chris just working it really hard?!?

Congrats. Which supercharger kit are you going with? Magnacharger, Paxton, or ProCharger?

Congrats! You will be happy with ECS and their work. Did you see the Black C5 coupe with the roll bars being installed? That was my baby getting a Paxton, Nitrous, and alky injection with a rear mounted tank. I have been really impressed with the way they treat their customers and willingness to answer the phone and talk to you about your project. GREAT SHOP!!!

ECS are definetly topshelf people and they won't sell you something that you don't need. They truly understand customer service and how to treat you and retain you as a customer for life!!! That is why they will be extremely successful because they are creating an incredible base of repeat customers. You made a great choice and I am envious that you live near them and can really enjoy the full experience and all I can do is call everyday like a kid in the back seat asking "are we there yet?"

Thanks Don, I don't mind waiting. If only you knew how long its been seen I have physically seen my vehicle you wouldn't believe it. I have all the confidence in the world in Doug and Chris. Hey Don, I trust you in it. They are getting close to finishing it.. The roll bar looks nice, I appreciate your pics you sent, I hope I can fit in the roll cage because I am a big guy.

Its not at all weird to be excited. After dropping my car off there last month I spent a good half hour looking at all the crazy C5's they had in the parking lot. After meeting everyone there I have no doubts every car there is in good hands. The beasts they have built speaks for themselves as well! ECS rocks!

I agree everything I hear about ECS from Texas is top notch--now either ECS or A&A need to open shop in Texas to make the center of the country as happy as both of the C5 crowds see to be on the East and West Coasts. BTW I just started the breakin of my DIY A&A kit and FI is just assome, can not wait for my tune with that Alky turned up a notch
