Default Thanks ECS!

I recently had East Coast Supercharging (ECS) install American Racing Headers, x-pipe, high flow cats, Z06 TI cat back and dyno tune my 2004 C5 coupe. Wow, what a difference . The car feels much quicker and pulls really nice through all gears. It was a great experience, thanks again Doug, Mike and Chris! If you need some work done, I highly recommend ECS.

Congrats on the mods

I think I may have met you at ECS... I was waiting for Doug to run my black '03 on the dyno after yours (if that was you, late Friday afternoon?). If yes, nice car!

Hope you had as much fun on the way home as I did

Yes, that was me and thanks for the compliment. Your car is pretty incredible! Did you get it on the dyno that night?

My ride home was fun. I just got back from a ride tonight and I'm still amazed at the performance gains My dyno numbers are nothing to brag about but I can't expect huge gains from a few bolt ons. I'm already thinking about the next mods! I have a long way to go before I'm in your league

It can get addicting But, you're off to an awesome start

Thanks for the nice comment on my car. I posted about my mods and dynos in another thread to show the historical results with the major updates, over time. I also posted the pull we did that night (not long after yours). She was putting down 770 RWHP with the latest updates. If you would like, you can see the changes over time in this thread: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=2172785

Hope you found the Turnpike okay. Congrats again!

wow! I now wish I would of hung out to see it live on the dyno.

Hope you found the Turnpike okay.
I actually asked Doug right before I left and he gave me real easy directions to exit 7, which was a shortcut for me. I'll have to remember it for my next trip to ECS

The Boyz at ECS, Doug, Mike & Chris, are great. Had my 01 TR Vert tuned there a couple of months ago after a Vararam addition. Doug also added a 160 Stat.

Runs great, but I think I am still a little south of 770 RWHP!

I installed a Vararam (great intake) about a week ago (with help from a forum thread) before getting the exhaust & tune done at ECS. Maybe I'll do the 160 stat with a cam package
