I will also vouch for ECS's work. I've had no problems at all in the last four years with anything that they worked on.

You won't regret giving Cartek a call, one of the best engineered systems the market has to offer

I'll take consistent good luck then, it's certainly not like we have one or two cars out there, whatever keeps the car running well and our customers happy. If you wish to call it luck then I'll go with that.

Great answer!!
Sorry I read forum comments every day, and don't read too much on supercharger issues. Read guys questions alot. Anyone who seems to have one installed and tuned by a professional, seems to have no real issues. I hope no one is inplying that a cam/head mod comes with zero issues.

Doug@ECS, I believe that TheBigDog meant it would take pure luck for a NA car to run like the SC cars will. Thats how I took it. I certainly didn't mean to imply that the SC cars needed any luck at all, that is the reason that I'm going to one. Thanks again for all the info, I'm waiting on Dr. Phil now....haha.
