Default First Blown Vette

I recently purchased my first Vette, coming over from Camaro's and still have a ZL1. I love the C7 but, I also love the supercharger on the ZL1. I decided to go with ECS and 1 7/8 ARH long tubes. I had Stephen at East Texas Muscle Cars do the install for me. Although mine was one of the cars with venting issues and a seal leak, Stephen and many other shops including ECS worked countless hours to solve this issue. I can't say enough about the professionalism and great customer service that ETMC delivered!! I picked up my newly blown C7 Sunday morning and promptly jumped on the highway for 120 mile ride home. I wanted more power and was hoping the car would be loud and holy crap, this kit and headers delivered. This thing makes some racket now and even had my wife smiling as she was following me in the ZL1. I know most will want to know numbers and Stephen will be posting a video and numbers for me. He left it on the conservative side for now and after a few months of driving, I will have him dial it in some more.

I was expecting a blown up motor c7 but this is still as good I'd hope to eventually do this after I hopefully get a Laguna blue c7 in the next year
