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.

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....

Excellent results, Bob...just what we expected.
Now the fun begins this weekend at Pocono.
I think Dr. Ron will be playing catch-up with us all day.

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...
