Default Awesome Performance

Had a super charger put on my vette and have to give credit to the guys that did the work. The name of the company is England Green located in Houston Tx. The people that works there are great didn't keep the car for ever , and they know what they are doing, when the work is done the car is clean and in order, they put a logo on your back window "Necessary Evil" didn't understand it until I got in the car, the power and performance is AWESOME My wife always ask when is it enough and I found her answer, Blower by ECS Company, work done at England Green.

What kind of numbers did it make?

Did they ask you before putting the sticker on? (just curious)

Glad you're happy with it. I recently had my supercharger put on and struggle to find traction even with my 345's from low speeds, lol.

That sticker makes all the difference, Shawn.

Sounds like a strong car, OP! Have fun and enjoy it. The ECS kit is a really good kit. The easiest of the 3 to swap belts on and DIY jobs.

Very nice Totally different car now.

Did you add anything as far as cooling is concerned? It's something I'm currently looking into living in Houston. The approaching summer is scaring me, lol.
