Default A little more HP needed

Has anybody used East Coast Supercharging for a little more horsepower ? If so, how satisfied were you with their work. I'm one of those **** Corvette owners who has a hard time trusting anyone to work on my car.

You will be hard pressed to find a better shop. Doug and his crew do great work. Don’t hesitate to use them.

So you've reached the performance limits on the stock Corvette? Good work.

You don't have to be Ron Fellows to enjoy more HP. I won't ever be, yet I enjoy a faster Vette. Just shoot me....

If the OP is being literal, why not just get an E85 tune or upgraded cam & heads.

The OP was asking for a little more hp, well the E85 picks up 35 rwhp on the dynojet, cost around $4,600.

More like $3500 if you are not an idiot, less if you already have a MPVI 3 or 4. I just did this to my car.

I don't consider myself an idiot, but if posting condescending and patronizing messages makes you feel like a man, go for it.

Going E85 and making my 2021 Z51 Corvette a true dual fuel car cost extra money for the DSX parts that only one person (Alex Peitz) in the Houston area could install their licensed product. I also didn't have the interface for the laptop to communicate with the ECU, which costs an extra $400.

Oh by the way, just because a person has a laptop and interface to communicate with the ECU doesn't make them a tuner.

DSX’s kit isn’t the only way to do this.. You do not have to be married to one of his installers or tuners.

It was a blanket statement, I was not calling you an idiot.
