Default Contemplating ECS SC600

I have been looking at all of the options, and it has pretty much come down to ECS for me. I'm now just wondering what to expect from the car after going with the SC600 & new clutch?

My goals are mainly to have a stock feeling car untill I open up the throttle. I'd hope to be able to turn low 11's / high 10's without having to invest in meth, blower cam, and headers.

Are those reasonable expectations?

Very reasonable expectations. With ECS in your backyard, I would NOT look anywhere! Go for it!

Glad to hear it. I saw Chris on the t4t run yesterday but didnt get a chance to stop and talk shop. But he will get a call shortly.

I just cant beleive how "simple" it is to get these cars into the 10's. I was contemplating a big nasty NA build, but after adding it all up it seemed that I would loose drivability and the cost would be similar... considering that I dont turn wrenches for a living.
