5 hours there, and 3 hours back if you catch my drift!

If you want your car done right, A&A!

Or you can go to a more local tuner in your area and roll the dice?

You have an A&A kit on your car, wouldn't you want them to tune it? You have spent thousands already, don't go all cheap now, take the 5 hour drive!!!!!!!

I have to agree with A/C Man on this one!

Thanks!
Your welcome to bring the car down to us. We can send you a tune to get the car to us, or a local dyno. You'll need HP tuners software to get the tune in the PCM. Otherwise you can mail us the PCM, we'll load the tune and mail it back.

If you want to stay local Newtech in Hayward is only 30 miles from the bay area.

Nice! I'll talk to them about it. Not sure about driving 350 miles on a mail order tune. If they say it's cool, I'm down to take it to AandA for sure. Make a weekend trip out of it

Thanks! I already have software to load tunes into my car, so that wouldn't be an issue.

Hayward is a 15 min drive for me...

Once I order the kit and get it installed I will get into contact with you guys and figure out the best plan.

Thanks again!

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!




.
If you can send me a kit with a carb legal head unit then please pm
Me the price.? 2007 c6 a6

Waiting on Chris at ECS to get my date. Friend has the A&A kit and it's a nice kit stock C5 with a full exhaust. The car sounds great and moves, but the service from ECS made a difference. After waiting days for a response from A&A via PM and then a call to them. I got a response to view their website for details. The guy wouldn't answer my questions and that turned me off. I realized I get what I pay for...

Woah! This thread has been revived!

Both are great kits though - I've seen some badass ECS setups and some badass A&A setups.

A&A has a reputation for excellent service. I can attest to this by personal experience. This involved talking to Andy personally about an issue on a Saturday morning ( they are not open on Saturdays). Then talking to his techs several times about some issues unrelated to the supercharger kit. I understand there was a change in personel at A&A about the time this post was made. That may have contributed to the poor response.
