ECS System on the way soon!

I thought I might wait a bit before starting stage 2 of my build, but I suck at being patient

ECS kit coming (in black finish) with differing pulleys so we can find out what the fuel system limitations are on this set up.

Coming up:

- ECS kit with 1500 head unit
- ZL1 in tank pump
- Aeroforce Interceptor with single gauge pod
- More tuning

Already done:

- VR forged pistons
- VR Stage 2 cam
- Comp trunions
- VR pushrods
- VR DoD delete
- LT4 Pump with cap
- LT4 Injectors
- ARH Long tubes with no cats all the way back to stock NPP
- E85 conversion
- VR Tuning

Congrats I hope you are as happy with the ECS system as I have been and I'm curious to see how far you can push it with your setup.

How do you like the sound of your exhaust system, any drone?

when I had straight pipes to NPP, it sounded like nascar at high rpms, but like raspcar at low (just nasty rattle rasp). The baffles closed sounded like absolute crap as well.

When i tossed the procharger on, my exhaust note definitely evolved, but by that time I had put my secondary cats back on. I'd like to add that I live in nazifornia... where all it takes is a cop having a bad day to turn a routine traffic stop into a state ref ordeal.

I don't notice a drone really. What really annoys me is the way the NPP valves flutter at gear changes with the auto trans. Going to add some resonators or bullets probably. It's currently too loud for my old ass

Yeh those poor valves tremble like crazy. Annoying. Wonder if anyone makes a "reinforced" npp valve kit... Maybe one of our custom fab guys could make one
