Didn't think it was possible........
but I went for a ride today in a car that ECS had been working on. It is an over 600hp supercharged stroker with NOS. Don't know the dudes name who own's the car (PA tags) but it's a beast! Chris took me for a ride while he was tuning it as Doug and Mark were finishing up my 4.10's. I'm still pulling leather out of the crack of my azz. The roads were a bit wet but Chris managed to find a dry spot to give me an idea of what this car is capable of doing. Chris doesn't know it but he had me within inches of blowing turkey all over this dudes car :U Oh my God :eek: Man how do you guys do it? I would be dead in a week. Chris said that I should feel it when the NOS kicks in but that's ok I'll sit that one out. I didn't think it would be possible but I think I understand the meaning of the words a bit too much now. I want to thank Mark and Doug for doing a super job on my 4.10's, they made it look so easy :thumbs: I don't have an opinion on the gears yet because I'm taking it easy for the 1st few hundred miles not too mention it started to rain again on my way home. I can't wait to put my foot in it. :party:

They did my 4.10's also. You will LOVE the gear change. Only downside to me - now I have to get new rear tires because my rearend breaks loose too easily - in SECOND gear!

Hey James do you remember seeing that green coupe with the light oak interior with the PA tags by chance when you were having your gears done? That was the car Chris took me for a ride in. Man that car is so fast it's scary! I was talking with Doug when we got back back and if I'm not mistaking he said that Vette is at around 650hp before the shot of NOS which should put it at over 800hp.............good God that's insane! The crazy thing is that they have a project car that they will be working on that will able to out run that one.

sounds :cool: but I wouldn't be too happy if they were taking people for rides in my car while it was there :nono:

Got a little taste of the 4.10's today. I didn't get took greedy, I have another 150 miles left on the break in period but all I have to say is that I'm forecasting rear tires in the near future :hurray:
