Where's the DR's, EG...you crazy SOB? Just an FYI, w/o the DR's for your DD, your HUD will say your fast but you will need some TLC on the gas pedal to have a really good ETA...so until then, STFU.

This book is a deep dive under the covers of your PCM. It's priceless and has proved to be invaluable.
I also have a couple of other books on general Fuel Injection but are not Corvette specific - but give you an OK background to tuning. And somewhat unrelated are the excellent books by Carroll Smith - Tune to Win and Drive to Win. I use those for chassis and suspension tuning with my coilovers/T1 sways.

The ECS kit cost $6495 which will go to 900rwhp with no modifications to the kit itself. Obviously, to go to high horsepower requires more fuel, pulleys and a forged engine plus more cubes will help - but neither the head unit nor the basic kit needs to be upgraded.
So this install cost me the purchase price of the kit, 2 gallons of oil and an oil filter along with 2 gallons of Dexcool, pretty much.
Contact ECS for details on their kit.

I cannot believe you did that! (yet oddly, in some strange way, like your other "cosmetic mods", it looks good)Seriously nice looking install dude.
What rear end are you running?

Plus the other extensive chassis and suspension mods, I do not expect to be breaking anything anytime soon.
