Default So excited-ECS pickup tomorrow

Car is being finished up today at ECS. Had their supercharger and Alky control meth kit put on. Already had a set of ARH done.

Looking forward to seeing the dyno graph and getting behind the wheel. I will be picking it up tomorrow and will post impressions and upload a bunch of pictures of the install.

Car is a 15 Z51 M7 with just over 10k miles on it.

I don't know about a restrictor plate. Waiting for Doug to go over the install, tune details with me. Leave it to the experts right?

If you have no restrictor plate, it should break the 700whp mark. Good luck! Going to be a blast for sure!

If you are running meth he probably went with out a restrictor plate. In this weather you should be around 670+ is my guess.

I left the restrictor plate in and made 610 rwhp. Next year I'll do drop in pistons and blower cam and pull the restrictor plate. Great kit.

Doug did mine with the same set up as you. No restrictor plate, stock exhaust with no cats made 686 WHP on his dyno. Just a word of caution , there is a learning curve to driving the car with that much power vs. stock. Give it a week or so and man its fun.

Since that was the first Cleveland championship in my lifetime, I'm not going to hold off on the slim chance of another one. May be talking about adding a voltage regulator to my C15 Corvette

Ok, picked it up in the late morning, WOW. Fit and finish are top notch, install is very clean. Car drives like stock until you get on it, then, hold on. Now I know why there is a track display mode, much easier to keep an eye on the revs when they move this fast.

Tune seems to be spot on, thanks Doug. Fans are perfect and do not run on high all the time, I've heard of people complaining of that, not here.

I do want a boost gauge and AFR so that is the next project. I'll be on here soon picking the experts minds on those.

So here are a few pics:
