Default ECS 447 is alive and thumping!!!

Just like to thanks all the guys at East Coast Supercharging for my latest round of mods. Picked up the car Sunday (Thanks Chris and Doug for meeting me on your day off) and have put about 400 miles on the car since then. Car absolutely rocks!!!! Didn't go to wild on the set-up, but you sure know something is going on when you pull up next to it. Was really surprised how quiet the car is during normal driving and how good my Corsa Indy's sounded at WOT.

Mods were ECS 447 Package with Vararam, Kooks 1 7/8" headers with high flow cats, Exedy dual disk clutch, 3.73's with hardened output shaft.

Dam, that sounds like a sweet motor! I saw your car there when I dropped my ride off last week. Nice wheels!

ECS is doing upgrades on mine too. Great shop!

Thanks, it is a Darton block, put down I think 522rwhp/525rwtq at the wheels (I have a dyno sheet but not in front of me) with the cats on and only 11.5 to 1 compression. Car has a modified LS6 intake not the fast intake.

Plenty more in it with some minor changes but I'm very pleased with the results.

Dude I had the pleasure of hanging out with your 447 on the boardwalk at Ocean City NJ. She's a beast! Chris was breakin it in and took it to show it off. Needless to say we all were over it. Enjoy!

Thanks, wish I could have made that trip to AC. Seemed like it was a nice turn out and a good time. I drove down to AC when I picked up the car and then to Philly and then home. Car ran great.

What are the specifics of your cam? I'm curious since your HP and torque numbers are very close to my Cartek 427 (also LS6 intake, 11.1:1 C.R.). My dyno sheet clearly shows the motor running out of air at around 6200 rpm.

Don't know exact cam specs, might want to call Chris at ECS to discuss.

Haven't driven the car for a week. Got a chance to take it out today and run it for a couple of hours. Man does this thing have some power down low. The torque off the line is incredible. Has taken a while getting used to the new clutch and big cube set-up, but I'm really happy with how the car is responding.

Nice nice setup, congrats!

You need to bring that beast down to MIR on 11/7 for the Import/Domestic shoot out. Help us represent!

It would be nice to know what numbers and specs you got out of this project are, not to mention how much $$$ went into it.

Tell us what you can if you don't mind, and maybe Chris will follow up on the specs?

Rock on!
