Default ECS Rocks

I finally got my fuel system pumped up and went for a drive last night. My car has their 2200 kit maxxed out with crazy traction and its a killer car. It runs smooth with no cam side effects. The meth kit works flawlessly and I have no KR. The 8 rib kit yeilds zero belt slip even with less tension than the 6 rib kit had. Its really evolved into a no compromise car that can be daily driven. The car runs awesome and I guess its done. I cant wait for the C7 and hopefully they use the 6L90 transmission like the CTSV.

ECS has helped me every step of the way. They put up with my annoying redundant questions and tech inquiries that kind of infringe upon their in house secrets. They hook up my friends with the same great service.

Thanks to all those at the shop that make my hobby accessible.

Anyone who is looking for any mods for their car should check out their products. They would get my car to wrench on anytime if I lived there. I have the car of my dreams in this machine. Its evolved to a point that I cant think of anything else to do to it. E85 is in the works but I dont really see the point other than to say I did it to a vette.

Great info and exactly the reason they are doing the wrenching for my E Force SC install . I have every confidence the job will be done right because they turn out nothing but top notch results....

I would bust Spin's ***** for having what appears to be a slight man crush on the ECS guys but I have much the same opinion.

Since I've never run FI before the posts regarding ECS are making feel pretty good about having them wrench the Edlebrock for me. Sometimes all you read are negative posts about doing engine mods, endless bad shops and rip off artists! Yes sh*t happens and nothing is ever 100% when doing these type things.

On the other hand when you feel like you're dealing professionals it tends to make one feel a lot better spending that kind of money. At least I picked one of the better shops according to many forum members.
Thanks for the info...

If he does, hope he makes a trip through the Tail of the Dragon - I'll meet him there! You can come on down too!

Awesome, so far I only got a tune from ECS, but a good buncha guys and the shop is always full of Vettes, that says a lot! I'm glad to have these guys 20mins down the road! Now, I just need to pull the trigger on the blower!!!

Spin, are you in nj?

I tell myself that every morning in the mirror with a flex!

Seriously thought, take a bow. Your products did the best thing that a material object can do for you. They gave me enjoyment. Money cant make you happy but if you get enjoyment along the way, its the next best thing.

Now if you can get me an A4 conversion for my car using the 4L65 for a sane price, Im going to really be entertained by not losing boost pressure between shifts. I am the most unskilled shifter on this board.

I'd settle for a how to with a parts list and get the parts myself.

I agree and have done so a few times with overnight stays. Once a 10 hour run up and back for ECS to look over the car after some bad gas and a couple tweaks to the tune. Just avoid the 95 route out of Baltimore heading north and south as the tolls will kill ya and traffic.

Been there for all my mods. It's 5 hours one way for me too. My father lives nearby, so I usually stay over night with him.
