Don't see hardly any youtube videos on builds with ecs on 6th gens, tons on 5th gen though.

I don't have an ECS kit, but I have researched it and spoken directly with ECS. I think people don't select this kit because there is only one blower option for it, the novi 1500SL. In contrast, procharger stage 2 kit can run anything from a p1sc all the way up to an f1a-94 and every blower in between, and there are several of them. The ecs kit seems like a good choice for someone staying sbe. Personally, I wouldnt run an ecs kit without methanol. The ecs kits don't make much torque, but with a bit of meth, they make as much torque as the roots type blowers.
I'm trying to piece together an LT4 blower conversion myself, it is significantly less expensive than the ecs kit if you can find a reasonably priced take off blower. I also prefer the instant boost on the roots blower compared to the boost by rpm delivery of a centrifugal. With the amazing porting Kong is providing, the lt4 blowers can make 1000+rwhp with supporting mods. ESC kit is my 2nd choice.
I really wanted a 2650 Edelbrock or Magnuson, but all the vendors have jacked up the prices since right before labor day weekend on those kits to the point where they are out of financial reach. Additionally, the Whipple 3.0 kit supposedly coming out for the camaro has been delayed with no release date.
