BaaaaHaaaa Kenne Bell, I almost spit my Mt.Dew on the Key board.
Well if OP only wants 550 RWHP then I guess it MIGHT make that.
A&A sounds like the logical choice for you.

Ok so technically your right about the carb thing but let me shed some light on the reality of it for ya. :-) The inspector is going to look at the head unit and your exhaust if he sees a carb number on the blower and cats 99.9 percent of the time your good to go aa long as you pass the sniffer the inspector is not going to question anything else. They are not going to look at your injectors or charge piping or your fuel system (not that you can look at an in the tank pump anyway).
As for A&A selling more kits then ECS who really cares but for ***** and giggles I'd challenge Andy and you to post up legit numbers as for actual kit sales kits to vendors count. :-) also the pole at the top of this thread tells me that either there's a lot of A&A fanboys out there or they have more kits out there or at least more who have responded to this thread.
. On a serious note nothing but respect Doug u know that. :cheers
Question though so you guys do have a carb legal head unit?
To the OP both vendors make good kits but being that your a Cali car like me who not choose someone close to home. I will say that the ECS guys builders ect generally have a lot more race development but both kits can whip some serious *** at the track.

Wow, some of the responses in this thread are so off basis it's just ridiculous. 
Bret - BlOWNBLUEZO6, you do not have a clue how many kits we sell, or A&A, so please do not post up information that you are completely ignorant in regards too.
CARB legal, guess what guys, neither kit is carb legal!!!
A&A uses a head unit off of a CARB certed kit to call their kit CARB legal, technically the kit needs to be carb legal, not just the head unit. We also can send out a kit with a CARB legal head unit, which so far seems to be working on getting cars passed in CA.
You guys want the my answer in the most basic form? ECS offers the most high end-durable kit on the market with the most upgradablity, that has been proven on the road course and drag strip more then any other FI set up for the C5. We include everything necessary to be able to bolt it in and run single digit passes, no plastic idlers, or upgrades-upgrades-upgrades necessary. We built it right the first time, and have not had to change our design several times over the years costing you much more over the long run.
Our kit can be considered overkill to some, but we are just fine with that!

I think Doug and Chris and the gang are good people. Just trying to make a living. Can't fault them for that.

+1. Both have their pros and cons. Both will work great on a stock motor. Call Andy/Steve and call Doug, see which shop you like dealing with most. To me this debate is similar to the debate between Nikon and Canon DSLRs...both are wonderful and have their own pros/cons. I am a Nikon guy but only because when I was getting into the DSLR scene a friend had a Nikon so it is what I knew first. I have the ECS kit and Ive seen A&A's kit and I like certain things on mine and some things on his kit. You really can't go wrong with either if you are looking for something to put on a stock motor. Now if you are looking to make some serious jam, that is where the differences between the two kits become more apparent. I will keep my opinion to myself on which I like for big power so in your case, close your eyes and pick one 
The fact is that I don't really think anyone cares who sells more. We all pick our teams for different reasons. Doug's little boy, Brian likes to post stupid stuff and came in here as usual to do exactly that. My theory is sometimes people who speak idiot can only understand idiot. I was just speaking the lingo.

Hey little Boy Blue! Got a few questions, how much money have you spent on your S/C setup? How many pullies and belts have you changed? You probably have a flip drive. How many head units have you had to buy to get to where you are now? I'm going to bet it's a lot! Don't be pissed that ECS doesn't make there customers buy a whole bunch of extra crap when they want to go faster. They do it right the first time, don't feel bad, 2nd best isn't all that bad, is it?
Nice try cupcake. Did you notice that Doug never answered my questions? Wipe his taint sweat off your lips and try and answer them for him. Do they sell more than ONE PULLEY? If so, WHY???
While we're at it, announce to the world what size pulley you have on your blower.
You ever hear the one about the two hunters that ran into the bear? One say's " If we can't out run that bear, we're bear food!". The other one responds " I don't have to run faster than that bear. I just have to run faster than you!". Guess which one you are
As soon as you think you're able to put your big-boy pants on, bring your car, a sack lunch and plenty of cash.
Before you try and step to your elders with your G-string all bunched up. Just remember: You haven't accomplished one thing other than spending money. You didn't build your car and you surely didn't tune it if it's still running. Why don't you try actually doing something other than spending money and talking? Show us your skills kid! Accomplish something real and then talk to me.
