Am I wrong to infer a touch of homo-erotisism here?
So the relationship was physical as well as virtual.... interesting...

So, why did I decide on the ECS Paxton system?
Initially, I wanted the Kenne Bell Twin Screw - but after waiting for a year and still no sign of even a release date, I gave up on that white elephant. Next, I considered the STS twin turbo rear mount kit - but was uncomfortable with the compete lack of hard written data and reported end user installation experiences (parts missing, instructions leaving much to be desired etc.) both here on the Corvette Forum, on LS1Tech and GTO forums. The STS system appears to be an excellent system, but it's not for me.
ECS came to my attention from their past and current customers. All of their many customers rave about them, they rave about their outstanding customer service, their expertise, knowledge, experience, and how easy it is to get along with them. I have met over 40 of their customers face to face, and many more via the Corvette Forum - and they ALL say the same thing; ECS is great.
I finally met Chris & Doug at a Corvette social event earlier this year, at Supercharger John's birthday bash in New Jersey, and liked them both immediately. It's important for me to feel comfortable with anyone I will eventually give a large chunk of my hard earned money to
Now that faces had been put to names, we continued the relationship online on the Corvette Forum and on the telephone, where they both patiently continued to answer my myriad and wide ranging performance questions.
After that initial meeting, I hung out with them again at Carlisle, where they treated me like a loyal customer, rather than some guy that hasn't spent a dime with them, yet just hangs around and asks way too many questions
As you all know, I went down to ECS for the first time 2 weeks ago for the ECS magicians to install a completely new bulletproof drivetrain from the torque tube back, on Grond.
While I was there, I saw Asmokegears (Alan) blue beast being completed and saw it fire up. I had a chance to first hand - observe ECS's work ethic, their dedication, long hours, customer commitment and attention to detail.
I came away very impressed.
And my car came away as a wild animal now
So why the ECS Paxton kit?
Because their many customers tell me what their cars are like - 5000, 10,000, 20,000 miles after ECS have worked their magic.
Because their customers tell me how much they love their ECS superchargers or turbocharger systems.
Because their customers tell me how happy they are with their work.
And now - I am one of those customers.
