Default Good Day at ECS

I had been toying with idea of a mail order tune from Doug@ECS, had a few days off last week so decided to take a ride up to the shop and have
a full street tune performed.

Doug,Chris and the staff were great, I also ran into a couple of guys from Top Flight Corvette Club in Maryland. Great bunch of guys with some cool cars. Was great to meet a few enthusiasts, really helped pass the time.

Back to the tune, all I can say is WOW! I am really happy, the car finally performs the way I though it always should have.

I have a 2000 vert,MN6, Vararam Intake and powerduct, x-pipe and TI exhaust. I always felt response was lacking especially in first gear. That is no longer the case. The throttle response is 1000x's better. Only problem is now I want more

The ECS guys also lowered my car, they made an appointment at a nearby shop for alignment, could not be happier.

Thanks to Doug and the guys for the great work. Was well worth the trip.

Nice. It's great when you can get your car where it is running just right.

Had a mail order tune through them couldn't be happier. They missed sending me my lower temp thermostat but quickly sent it out after realizing the mistake. I will go back them when I upgrade to long tubes and get a dyno tune
