The Grond Chronicles : Dropped Valve and ECS to the Rescue [Dialup Death]
I just want to say that Chris & Doug of East Coast Supercharging are....
AWESOME!!
As you all may or may not be aware, I dropped an exhaust valve on my current big cammed N/A LS1 last Saturday night doing THIS.
So I sent a PM to Chris & Doug of ECS on Monday asking if they had any stock unmilled LS1 heads they could sell me cheap and if they did, could they ship it ASAP.
Tonight (Tuesday) I come home and what do I see on my doorstep??? A stock unmilled LS1 head shipped next day - and free of charge!!!!!!
Now THAT is what I call customer service!!!!
By the way - this engine was built by me and has absolutely NOTHING to do with ECS. They have never touched it!!!!
I am a ECS customer because I had them upgrade my entire drivetrain and I bought a Paxton supercharger from them - but in no way were they obliged to help me out in any way - especially to this extraordinary extent.
I still can't believe it!!
ECS = I really cannot thank them enough!!
Huge Thanks to Chris & Doug

Here are the pics
Grond - in the air - once again...
Number 3 exhaust valve has gone the way of all flesh
The Frozen Tundra needs loving too
ECS to the rescue!!!!

Hey, that's probably my stock heads!!!
ECS is the best, glad to hear they came through yet again. Now don't break anything else or else you'll never get GROND to Florida.

Wow that is great to have your part in the time of need, from those boys at ECS going above and beyond to assist you in getting you ride back on the road

These are stock LS1 heads with an upgraded valvetrain. The fix is no big deal.

I should have just saved my money from day 1 and just bought them instead of lowering with longer bolts, installing Bilsteins, contemplating Hotchkiss or Z06 sways, removing the front bolts.......
Another myth debunked

Coilovers are great, even if you don't want to super-slam the car. Don't think the thought hasn't crossed my mind....
