Default ECS Heads and Cam package ...

I have decided that for my needs and my car a good heads and cam package is probably my best bet. With that said it will be my end goal with all the bolt ons to make 500rwhp or as close as I can get to that. My question is for any of the guys that have the ECS H/C package what your impressions are and how you like the set-up. I spoke to GeorgeZNJ the other day about his ECS cam only package car and it sounds really awesome and hes a really nice guy as well. Took all the time to answer all my questions that I had So anyone with the full Heads and cam package out there that can tell me how their cars are holding up and most importantly how the power feels on the street. Thanks


Chris

Go for it. I had my ECS H/C for two years...lots of highway and local miles (and smiles)...many 1/4 mile blasts and even a track day on the long course at Pocono. It was a ride over 3 years ago in Bglman's ECS H/C coupe which convinced me go that route.

I've since taken an ECS 402 upgrade , but I've stayed N/A. Chris, Doug, Marc, Mike and John will treat you well and you'll have a car which will bring miles and miles of smiles to your face.

I had ECS install a G5X3 cam @114 lsa. oil pump, timing chain, LT- headers, x-pipe about 3 years ago on my 04 coupe. I couldn't afford to do heads at the time.
They dyno tuned the car at 405 hp to the wheels.
All their work was top notch and has held up great.
ECS is a great bunch of guys, Chris has always taken great care of me!
Can't beat the sound of a lopey cam.

I have an ECS installed H/C package. They installed it over 2 ½ years ago and I have not had one single issue with the car. Due to the length of time since installation I’m sure my setup is outdated, but it still turns 124 mph in the ¼ . Their latest H/C package sounds like a winner.

Yea, it's been over 3 years with my ECS h & C. Back then, it dynoed at 437 rwhp. I seriously beat the heck out of my car on a regular basis, yet it still runs perfect.

The best part is a lot has changed in three years as far as the technology involved. Chris and Doug can now give you considerably more power with much less drivability issues.

You can't go wrong with these guys.
