Good luck! I too did the Headers and ECS install myself at the same time. Couple snags along the way, but overall not bad!
What brand of headers? How did you get them in, through the top or bottom? What did you remove to make room? And last do you have a lift or did you use jack stands? Thanks !!!!

-1 7/8" American Racing Headers.
-Through the bottom with the subframe lowered.
-Just lowered subframe, removed oil lines was pretty much it. I know taking the stock manifolds out was a bit of a pain, but putting the new ones in was super easy.
-Jackstands, put up as high as I could reasonably get them. Put blocks of wood on the jack to get extra height.
Yes, Unleased Performance Labs up at the speedway. The tuner there (Gil) has years of tuning experience. He tuned my C6. Doug from ECS will be helping us also so between Doug's expertise and knowledge with the C7's and Gil's skills and dyno it should be awesome..
BTW - They are doing a dyno shoot out on Dec 12th. There will be a lot of cool cars there, you should swing by..

Looking good brother! Doug was VERY helpful in the build of our car (which was very similar to your build.. ECS 1500 supercharger, 1 7/8" AR Headers, single nozzle meth and a LMR breather). We were very happy with that combo but our car is currently undergoing a 1000 crank hp build.
