Default Thanks ECS

On Friday I had some work done at ECS on my 2000 couple, gears, street tune and few other things,harden shaft, transmission/rear brace, 160deg. thermostat. First let me say that dealing with Chris and Doug is always a good experience, lots of laughs and ball breaking. I was able to watch the whole install from start to finish and very pleases with the work and craftsmanship of Doug, Chris and John. Now to the good part, its about 60 miles from my home to ECS and the ride home was great the car ran better than ever, I now have a 6th gear that I can use, I was not able to test the 4:10 fully yet because of the break in period. I would highly recommend ECS to anyone who is thinking of having any type of work done to your car. Thanks Guys you put a bigger smile on my face. Hams

funny you mentioned that..I have the same problem with my tranny... grinds 3rd and 4th each time at high RPMs...of course I can work around it by shifting at 3k but thats boring. Im more of a "bump the rev limiter " kind of guy ...going back in to ECS for some upgrades!
