Default How come all these tuners don't run specials for Us C3 guys????

You know it's been a fun couple of weeks working at ECS... I've already torn down a number of C5's and a few C4's but not a single C3 as of yet (although I did help them back in the summer with a 71 ragtop with air, and a 66 BB coupe)

Chris my allmighty leader :U :lol: is running specials for C5 rears (with are comming in every day!!!), now it's headders for C4's... and now he's kicking off a blower special for C5's.... What no C3 deals???????? :cuss :p:

So I want to do a special for the C3 guys!!!!! :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash:

What do you think it should be??? Tell me and I'll have him work up some pricing this weekend!!!! Let's see what we can come up with....

We are dealers and/or distributers for a number of companies right now including

Spiral Turbo Specialties - Yeah I can sell ya baffles now!!! :cheers:

Corsa... mostly C5 & C4 stuff

Paxton, Vortech and Prochargers... again mostly for the fuel injected croud...

TPIS, SLP, FLP - again late model stuff mostly....

and Nitrous Express.... Hummmmmmm... this could be good.... :D

And of course we could always do a heads and cam package..

We can get some decent pricing on a lot of different stuff through various vendors so tell me what you guys might want... I want to work on some C3's!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are a Forum flyer, have a C3, and in the San Diego area I'll give you a HECKUVA deal on work done at THE DYNO SHOP. Visit me at www.thedynoshop.com and shoot the shop an email. We'll make it happen. Just ask for Paul B

Mike...

I don't have a clue what other C-3'ers are looking for, but I am just winging this as I go. It started out as a semi-restoration project replacing interior parts... a nice stereo... upgrading shocks... trying to get the motor running right... and then it all went to hell going off the far end going for alot of horsepower. I look across these boards at the different stages everyone is in and wonder if you can find a package like the C-4's & C-5's can agree on that I could partake in. If you have any connections to good deals on high performance parts(MSD/Crane type ignitions, distributors, etc.) I am interested. A good suspension package for the rearend is needed on my end also. Everything back there needs to be upgraded to make any HP worthwhile.

:lol: Tell me about it!!!!!! Thats how everything got started for me. Have you seen that Commercial on TV for one of the Credit Card Companys where the guy gets run over by the huge snowball???? Thats me.... This went from a fun relaxing hobby... to a full time job!!!! It's funny how you can get carried away!!!!!

I know we do... I'll have to do some expolring... I have a couple of personal contacts I'll try to stir some stuff up on as well.... You are giving me some good Ideas.....

Ohhhh here's another one.... Cooling... How about a Spall Dual Fans???? Maybe A griffen Rad.......

Maybe I can get something worked out with one or two of the supporting vendors.... Hummmmmm!!!!!!! Good Ideas!!!!!! :cool:

Supercharger kit that includes ALL the parts... including the intercooler and pulleys... retaining all factory options. Both carbureted & fuel injected (e.g.- DFI... Holley). I can get "deep" discounts on the stuff now... but I have to shop at 15 different vendors. PITA.

Ignition - MSD 6AL, Crane HI-6, or something similiar would be nice. Everybody could benefit from this.

I would be down for an ignition set up. I want to get a MSD tach drive distributor and a digital 6 box within the next three months or so.

If I said it once, I have said it about 5 times :).... The first company to come up with a 3" exhaust is gonna make a mint. Make a complete set including headers for either big block or small block and you have yourself a winner.
