Default Just called Andy...I am part of the club!

Well, I suppose it has to arrive for me to be part, but I am on my way.

I have to say its taken me over a year and a half to save up to do this. I want to thank Andy, ECS boys (both Doug and Chris have had frantic phone calls from me), Peter Pan (you rock man) and countless others that have nudged me towards my decision. I KNOW this is one I want, now to save up for the tune from ECS this summer....can't wait.

I bought the new all-in-one unit and the MAF girdle. I already have the big radiator, Racetronix, Corsa and trans cooler. It will see some road course time, but not enough days to keep me from wanting that big blower in front of the engine . I'll handle each thing as it comes.

I am so excited I can't sit still!

Congratulations!
Is this what is known as a V-3 head unit (self contained)?

Congrats buddy!

I am running an A&A kit in Laurel just up the road from you. I installed mine, so if you have any problems give me a shout and I can lend a hand.

I work in D.C. so not to far from you

Welcome to the club!

That's awesome bro. Welcome to the party!! You did bring beer right??
I ordered mine from Andy a long time ago. It seems that there's a hold up on the V7 Ysi trim from Vortech. I got ants in my pants!

Except I've only been running a boosted corvette since May of 07'. Saving up for a forged motor so I can up the boost.

Very cool! I am going on about 1.5 years on my V2 SQ setup and am very happy with it...especially after we went to a smaller cam.

I didn't really begin to appreciate how well done the system was until I had to start working on the car...cleaning the air filter, adding a second trans cooler, etc. very easy to work on! Of course having a 4 post lift helped too

The tune will probably one of the biggest factors in making the setup something you'll love to live with every day or not. To that effect the ECS guys should do you right

Enjoy and now for some R2 compound tires

Thanks guys. I have been literally living like a nomad for a year plus so I could afford this thing. I know its not over yet but the big part is bought. Now I have to start saving for the tune from the ECS boys.

I woke up an hour before the alarm this morning and couldn't sleep. I was thinking "ok, I need a flywheel spanner wrench to get the front crank bolt out, and I need a torque degree index, and..."....

The Mrs. is out of town for a week later this month...its the perfect install time. I may take you up on your offer Flatout! Of course the beverages are on me

I think I am going to keep it quiet in my club until I have it on the car. You guys are sick enough to appreciate my disease. Others may not just yet!

Cassidy, It is a Sickness for sure and one I can not get enough of, you will really have a better apprecation for the always on tap power of boost, and so will those that dare ride in the right hand seat

Congradulations!

I just got something from Andy myself!

I'll be running a V-3 T-trim w/ 8rib. Blower cam, full exhaust.

Did you upgrade to the T-trim? Anyhow, let us know what kind of power you make when you get everything installed!
