Ok did a test run over some favorite back roads and interstate. Wow it is amazing!!! Got 3 miles a gallon better on interstate. Back roads what a blast. It shifts harder, faster, and it down shifts the same. I am having to learn how to drive it all over again. Thanks, Doug at ECS.

Did you do their mail in tune or have it dyno tuned at their shop? Thinking about getting a tune but Jersey is too far to go for it.

I have told ECS several times that they need to partner with a tire manufacturer and put their happy customers on a program.

I have to say, I am in the same boat as you are. I just recently got my car back from ECS and as always am very pleased. This was my first experiance with ECS and I couldnt have asked for more.

You should have it back tomorrow!! I'm terribly sorry for my delay, I have been laid up in the hospital for a few day for back surgery. I thought I would be able to send tune files from there, but the Internet must have been limited or something and wouldn't let files threw. It is all in the works now. Again my sincere apologies for the wait.

Sorry to hear about the back, hope all is better now.

Hopefully you can get it to me sometime early today so i can enjoy (even more) the 70' weather here is Houston.

Thanks.
