Default East coast superchargers tune ?

Even though East Coast Superchargers focus seems to be mainly Vettes was wondering if any of the Caddy guys have had any experience with a tune done by these guys ?

When I first started modding my 09 V I used them to tune my car and they were great!

Did you have them do a custom dyno tune or did you use one of their "canned"
tunes?

An LSX is an LSX no matter the platform. I would opt for a dynotune over a canned tune myself though.

BTW I have heard excellent things about ECS.

How about Tune Time Performance in Toms River NJ? It's not that much further away. They built and tuned my impala, tuned the SRT8, and the first stop after we pick up our '12 V is gonna be there. Plus they have been in GM high tech magazine with one of their customers V's lol they must know what they are doing.

Thanks for the info.

Now that you mention it was a custom dyno tune would be curious to know your before and after dyno numbers and if you did any before and after runs in the 1/4 ?

Now that you mention them aren't the Vette Doctors also another fairly nearby shop even though they're in Amityville, NY ?

So with ECS, Tune Time and the Vette Doctors, how does one decide? A flip of the coin? (lol)

I have nothing but good things to say about ECS and there service. They are always reachable by phone and very knowledgable. I do not have a before and after dyno run.

I sent my pcm to ECS and it seems great. Great customer service and from what i hear the mail order tune is very close to the steet tune or the dyno tune. No complaints here and it was only $150.

ECS is very knowledgable about all GM products. Doug is the tuner. He spent a great deal of time street tuning my friends Z after their big NA cam install. Then used a dynojet for some numbers.
