i have the ecs kit.. 1st and 2nd gear are useless if you stab it on the street. i don't see the need for any more low end.

I have thought about Twins but wasn't really sure about the top mounts. I have heard that they have heat issues? That is when I switched my thoughts back to a SC. I appreciate all of the responses. This is the exact kind of information I was looking for. Anything/everything helps.

Agp twins. Contact Kevin they have a special going on right now.

My buddy has the agp kit. He wanted the hellion but I talked him out of it. Now he loves it and says thanks for not letting him get the hellion. I'll also be going with the agp when I can. Also his 20mpg vs my 12mpg which it's a plus

Centris are turds below 3k rpm. I was 2-3lbs of boost at 2500rpm with my Paxton but was 12psi at peak. Granted it was easy to hook compared to a PD blower but not as fun. If for some reason I go back to boost it will be turbo. Doubt it though....

Do a AGP Twin with low mounted Turbo, they make great torque to go with the crazy top end rush.

My 2c.

I like my TVS2300 also, I have so much tq, just not a big fan of turbos, they spoil up to long. Just my opinion. But I do agree, it's your choice, you have to be happy with it.

Thanks for all of the replies. I realize when i posted the question that i would get everybody's opinion and that is exactly what i was looking for. I got more replies than expected. I have gotten with ECS to answer my questions and my installer/tuner and have decided to go with ECS. If all goes well, i will be putting my car in the shop in 2 weeks.

I installed ECS this summer. Great system. upgrade the trans for comfort if you cam it at same time.

GR8WHITE1 · 11-27-2016, 04:39 PM

Honestly I have been debating between the LSA conversion and the ECS kit. I am making 486hp 435ft lbs at the N/A with my 1LE and I am running the 305's in the rear like the ZL1 and have traction issues in first and second gear. I am looking at the ECS kit over the PD blower just because of traction issues on the street and intake temps. In my opinion with street tires the more linear torque curve that the Centri's put down is better suited for the street. Though blowing the tires completely off 1-3rd gear might be awesome for some I would rather have that power build as I am at the cusp of traction as it is now. Also I think the Centri's are a little easier on the drive train having a more linear curve. For me I run the car hard in summer so I hear from almost everyone that Centri's have significantly lower IAT's vs. PD blowers, and I live in the high desert in CA where it gets pretty damn hot.
