That is the last step other than putting the interior back together.
ECS is thinking 2 weeks.... which, in shop talk, means 3.

Awesomeness
Damn, I just passed you on my way down to Delaware today.
The beach traffic sucked.
I should've just stopped by for a couple of hours and went for a test beat and been on my way.

Don't have the car back yet. I visited East Coast Supercharging (1.5 hrs away) to check in on her.

Stop by any time mofo, we always have great steaks, cold beer, and good scotch.

They are working on it now since everything else is installed and they can get accurate measurements.
After that, it's put the interior back in and button her up.

They relocated the battery to the trunk since their working on a custom cold air intake rig.
This will be really nice as it'll make the stereo install much easier for me. Amp will have leads less than 3' and be in the 8 gauge range.

I think that is a "standard" answer just like a pizza takes 20 minutes

Plenty of specialized machinery needed for the driveshaft and balancing. Since you have close to 700 hp, going with a front and rear driveshaft loop?

No because I'm not spinning it up high and/or racing it.
This is designed as a street car with gobs of extra torque in the mid range.

If I was drag racing, I'd have loops, scatter shield, line locks, and a 2 step.
With her power:weight this is a high 10 second car; nothing crazy.
