Default Ecs meth!

Ok, I resisted as long as i could but am now at ESC awaiting my new drug. As if this thing needs more hp! Goal is to stabilize power output as seasons change. Luv it in winter. Summer heat takes a toll and throttle response is compromised. This should solve that issue

Of course i now loose wiper fluid and add complexity. And spend $$. Hopeless addict. 😜

Excellent choice. Oh, and tell the crew to get cracking on my car there (blue C6Z06 with vented hood and grey CCW rims)!

Just a question, because I have the same experience, and have been dragging my tail on adding Meth for over a year now, but how will that help with sluggish summer throttle response? The pump typically doesn't turn on until higher rpms.

Ordered their dual nozzle kit this morning! Hoping it will help cool my maggie down. Not sure how much it will benefit pre blower but I figure every little bit has to help.

Pump starts at only ~ 2psi boost which is basically just a little extra throttle. Sweet results

I have the single nozzle on my maggie and it helps performance tremendously!

Sorry to thread jack... but this is great to hear! I feel better about my purchase already. Do you run straight meth? 50/50? Are you worried about the powder coat flaking on the rotors?

Default honest assessment of all this money spent.....

Meth, air filter and spark plugs plus full tune. As we know this hobby ain't cheap!
Was it worth the $$$?

In a word....... YES
The meth certainly adds power, but even when system shows no meth injected I still feel a much more responsive car. And that is due to the new plugs (old were worn) plus a quality tune. Driving the highway in 6th under no boost and the car is stronger and smoother. To be honest, I only got meth / boost once, and that was getting on the highway. Shows how I drive this thing
But then earlier today I did give it the beans....... I went WOT in 3rd but at lower rpm's. Green light = full meth....and car accelerated with far more urgency than before. And I backed off at ~ 3800rpm, so I wasn't even in the sweet spot.
Doug and I went for a conservative tune. He felt the heat would keep me below my original December peak of 556whp. Turns out I now make a summer heat 575whp. (And kudos to Doug for not "over promising & under delivering". We have enough of that these days......)
So yet another happy HP addict drives out of the ECS parking lot. Thanks ECS. Job well done. And a big thanks to Shawn for his attention to detail and impeccable workmanship

Run 100% meth only and the flaking won't even be a concern.

Do a search on here for "whatcop" and he has a really good thread explaining this with a lot of industry experts chiming in.

Actually here it is.
