If you go FI, it's a risk no matter what. When I bought everything, I told them that this was going to be my daily driver. I was assured that everything would be fine. They even put a rev limiter on it as well without me asking to make sure that I don't go over max psi. With the alky kit, they put in a fail safe. So if something goes wrong, power will be cut until the problem is fixed OR I refill the methanol tank.

We have sevral customers cars running around as Daily Driven cars with ECS Kits. We install a ton of them here at the shop. My personal DD camaro has 600rwhp with the ECS kit and 2 baby seats in the back

Definately a great kit to have.

I made it home!! Went back down and picked up my car today. What a drive home. I drive conservatively, but when I got on the gas, the car took off like a bat out of hell. Not that my car wasn't quick before, but now it's even better. I couldn't ask for anything more, until it's time to forge the engine. Thanks to all the guys at ECS for their help. While I was there, before taking the car home, Doug took it on one more test drive. Don't know what he heard or felt, but it ended up causing him to have the air filter. I would have never known otherwise if he didn't have them change it out. So if anyone is ever thinking of getting ANYTHING done at ECS or purchasing from them, they are top notch and extremely friendly. Retail, in general, needs more guys like them. They take the time to make sure things are done their way, the right way. After all, it's their name and reputation on their products.

Keep things conservative and you have very high odds of being just fine. Keep in mind that we SC several cars per week and many are DD's.

Good speaking with you today, and I'm glad all is well again.

Just an FYI for those reading, it turns out that having a Diablo Sport tune written over with EFI live caused a glitch in the ECM that threw a code for "internal ECM fault" which I have not personally seen before.
We reflashed the ECM with a fresh GM file, and reinstalled the performance tune to remove any glitches between to the two software companies and proper order was restored in the universe. (computers....) Both are good software companies, something just didnt want to cooperate between the two.

Thanks again for your business Chris, we greatly appreciate it!!

Doug @ ECS

There's nothing wrong with making high HP cars, family cars. It just gets us to the grocery store faster, that's all. Kids love that sort of thing.

The one thing I forgot to do before bringing my car down to you guys was to unmarry the diablosport from my car. So that's my own fault. At least we got through it. I was starting to think that you wanted me to keep the hot rod. I'm glad I found you guys in my own backyard. Now I know that I can bring my car to you for all my performance needs. You're guys are my heros.

By the way. I asked Matt to find a good home for the intake that was on there. I thought that giving it away to someone, might be a good way to get someone started in there own mods. Let me know how that turns out.

Thanks, I haven't brought it to it's full potential yet. I'm slowly getting into it. I guess I'm a little on the cautious side.
