Chris is being NICE and BILLING you for 2 hours, and we replaced your MAP sensor and repaired your intake for free. It was in the shop for over four, plus time on the day it first came here for the tune, which is over half a day of unscheduled and unbilled work. Let alone taking the head off yesterday. All for items that have nothing to do with this shop!
It is not our responsibility to do you favors because your car is not healthy, yet we are anyway. On top of that you try and stir the pot more by posting elsewhere so Chris and I have to waste more time on this.
We took your car in just as fast as we would have scheduled any top paying normal job, yet we did it at a very reduced rate for you. In return we have been called "ridiculous" and have had you post multiple negative posts in our direction when we have been nothing but helpful towards your situation.

Why don't you get your story straight before attacking ECS. You say no call in 3 weeks but indeed you were contacted. Maybe it was not the news you wanted to hear but regardless you were contacted.

just curious.. if there were botched items as previously stated, was that work authorized to be done? there logically/professionally/even legally had to have been some communication there and therefore at least an implied understanding that there was more going on than just a tune, right?
legally speaking, a shop isnt supposed to do unauthorized work and then bill for it, its a consumer protection law.

You've lost credibility by cross posting between two forums, along with the amount of inconsistencies between your stories.
You bought a car from a 76 year old... Did he mod it or did you add the NOS or was that the professional job you that refer to where the installer left your MAF hanging by the wires?
No communication except your calls to the shop at least every other day, if not more often, on and on.
Take the advice of others, take it offline. You would be better served by picking up the phone and calling to discuss your options - Or, stopping by as you claimed and discussing it in person. I suggest you go there with a flatbed

Please point out my inconsistencies , since my storys been the same since day one. When I say no contact I mean durning the timeframe that I was told I would be called back in not the whole thing
The 76 year old added the Nitrous and it was installed by Rick who works @ corvette paramedics Left my MAF hanging by the wires? what are you talking about.
COMMUNICATION means talking back and forth. Everytime I called I recived the same reply " I don't know". I could talk to a wall everyday and it would be to the same effect of what Chris provided me with intel wise

Out of all the sections on CF the C5 Performance section is your best resource for assistance from fellow Corvette owners.
You post in here and turn your thread into an online rant with Doug and Chris of ECS instead of resolving it offline first. Then you post the same crap in the C5 General Section and now you are just arguing with everyone.
You were given the best advice possible for your situation, talk or go to ECS in person and resolve your issues. End of story.

Sounds like ECS is stepping up on this one. You want your car right and it had issue's that came up during the requested work. Bottom line is they want it to be right when you get it back. And so do you. Put the shovel away and stop digging the hole your standing in and be patient. Hope it all works out.

Hopefully this is our final post on this matter, although I thought that was the case before. 
It doesn't matter what the previous owner told you, or how many times the NOS was used etc etc. The end result is the same, you have a car with screwed drag radials on there, you have a 150 dry shot on the car without any separate timing reduction, or heavy enriching in the tune for it. It could have been used once or hundred times, regardless it was used enough to cause an engine failure.
You keep complaining of a lack of communication, yet you called us every other day? I fail to see how there was a lack of communication myself, but your angry at the situation so I understand.
We made an NA pull on the dyno with your timing table lowered 3 degrees, which is not far from a forced induction table. With an A/F ratio of 12.0-12.2:1, and the car came apart before the end of the first pull.
Chris made you a very generous offer of not charging you for the time AND materials we have in the car. All your parts are boxed, and the engine is covered. Please let us know when the truck will be coming to get it, and we will have it in an easy placement for pick up.
