Any further information please let me know. The cost on the Stage 1 system is $1295, on sale for $1195 right now.

That sounds better than a BAP to me. Is a "fuel block" basically just a Y, to split 1 line into 2? How tough is this kit to install? I am very tempted to get this kit right now and install it this winter.

Our guys can install the stage one kit in 3-4 hrs. First time might take an extra hour, but it's not tough to do. The fuel block goes into the tank for the secondary feed, you do not need to drop the tank to install, and we supply you with the necessary tools to install it with the kit. Everything is in the back of the car near the tank besides wiring, so it is a very clean install, factory engine covers stay etc.
The feed block insures a proper seal to the tank fitting rather then just drilling the tank and putting a pipe fitting in there which I have seen always end up weeping. It also has a fuel filter on the pickup side, and
You can also grow with it if your fuel demands increase down the line.

btw, your reason for editing your post made me laugh.

Sorry guys I didn't post the final dyno graphs as I have been very busy with work. My final results with the headers and a retune via Doug were 578 rwhp and 526 rwtq! I am very happy with the work ECS did for me! Don't hesitate to use them guys! I will post the dynos later when I have time.

Boost peaked at 8.7 psi at redline, which I think should be safe.

Does the stage 1 fuel kit for the Maggie still include the fuel rails? The factory Maggie kit comes with bigger rails right?

The ECS Stage 1 Fuel System is not just for the Maggie cars.. It is a universal system for all boosted C6's.
