Default Just got back from ECS

Well I just got back from ECS and they helped me with my new MOD



Yes in NJ this should add about 100 RWHP (only because I will be able to push the accelerator down all the way...

Ok that is not the real reason I went - this is H/C package (I just found out it is really hard to get pic of cam once it is in car)

Not bad for having 4.10s which rob a few ponies.

The guys at ECS really did it again

I do not want to give any first impressions yet because I only drove it home, but I can give a few

1. Loud

2. F#$#%ing Fast

3. Lots of heads turning

4. Big Smile

I will write up my first impressions at the end of the weekend when I have had a chance to drive it on the track at Pocono.

Thanks a ton ECS for pulling this out in only a few days. Marc is great with putting these in and Chris has done so many tunes with this combo I think he can do it when he sleeps.

BTW Chris - the haircut looked GAY!!!!

Alex the numbers would have been over 450 if I had 3.42s, but we figure the 4.10s are stealing about 10 rwhp.

I got that for the clutch, today they threw in

2 T-Shirts (sweet)
1 ECS Sticker for outside the rear window...

Nope, but thats ok. It is also my understanding that Marc only took small naps in it. I figure that is the only way he could push out 2 of these this week....

I'll smack around the stock boys at Bear Mt for you.

Speaking of my cam change, spoke to Chris today and made my appointment!

Bear Mt runs will never be the same!

Barry I bitched when I only got 443 vs. your 449, but when Chris mentioned that you paid more I let it go


Love the car. Actually find it easier to drive, but harder to keep under the speed limit. ECS really knows their stuff when it comes to tuning...
