Default Thinking of ordering a CoW booster from forum sponsor

Those that have ordered one in the past 6 months or so, are you happy with the results? Good bang for the buck? How was the communication/support if needed? Assuming this looks to be a simple plug n play, I guess support really shouldn't be needed though. This would be going on my stock 13 LS3 car.

TIA

You have been a member for almost a year and somehow missed the dozen + threads on the disaster Chuck COW is and how many have been ripped off by him?

I bought a inTune3 from Diablew aka Diablo Lew and have been damn happy through the entire process.

Do your research!!

I've bought other products from other forum sponsors without issue. I haven't been around the S&T forum much.

I think that the Vitesse is a better option given the Adjustability of the unit. Plus you will need to remove your Ecm and ship it off to Cow for programming. Some have been waiting for months to receive there’s back. Good luck with your chose.

I believe Chuck finally gave up defending his cow booster against know it alls that dont even have it installed on their cars.

he probably concluded those who want it contact him.



,, I have the cow booster mod ..put on probably 70 k with no cow booster on my c6 z51 manual and another 70k with it on tje car...its a better car to own with the cow booster installed. Good luck deciding whats best for you.

The Cow booster is awesome....however I would not do it unless Chuck is doing it in person. That is how I got mine. His deal is not just a linear throttle sensitivity either as most of the others are. Whatever is going on now with him should give cause for pause at a minimum...


You could check out Diablo as you can get a tune and throttle sensitivity though it is a linear adjustment...and live updates as well a with really good support also.

Good luck

Just saw the thread regarding this vendor not following through with contracts by providing products/services in exchange for the money he has received from forum members. Wow. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...es-merged.html

All I can say is buyer beware. Find someone local and enjoy your car.

Why you starting problems? What was your screen name before this one ?

You posted this on 10/9 and 10/7 in a COW problem thread " just type the word "vendor" in the thread. every time I do, it gets their attention. in fact, they'll probably be along shortly now."

So now you act surprised like this is the first time hearing of problems after you posted in at least two of COW threads ?

What about you, dick tracy? This has been my one and only screen name since day 1. After you get over the butthurt, contact your favorite mod so they can prove it to you.

ok, so it is your only screen name.

And you posted to twice to that COW thread and now claim you knew nothing about it.

So, you're a troll, one screen name or not.

Or they also ban vendors it seems: Nice job MODS

Corvettes of Westchester (CoW) has failed to respond to any messages sent by Internet Brands or site moderators. Therefore, we are removing them as a supporting vendor. If you have a pending dispute with this vendor, please follow this link:

Guess Phillis C5 will get over his butthurt now that I won't be ordering a CoW Booster. Nah, he'll probably keep on being a dick.

Mods can lock this one down now I guess.
