Street Concepts tests ESC 2004-06-10

Last month we sent an ESC™ to Street Concepts Magazine to install on a Ranger 2.5L 4-cyl show vehicle. You won't believe what they got from that truck! On a stock engine with headers, 3" exhaust, ECU modifications, and electric supercharger @ 6 psi, they took the Ranger from 122 stock whp to 223 whp! Afterwards, the batteries were able provide additional runs off the dyno. Street Concepts' technicians were absolutely blown away by those numbers, so look for a feature article on the ESC™ in the August 2004 issue.
Well I can only comment on the fact that Charles swears by the thing.

For the cost, you could just add a turbo to most cars. But you have to worry about a lot with a turbo, install, oil lines, header, downpipe, intercooler, etc.

With this thing, it can be mounted anyplace, not belts, no lines, etc. Just a one way valve that closes when it engages and an extra injector to handle fuel.

Whatever; it works! Dollars to donouts you could probably do it cheap and reap the benefits, the only big cost is the unit.
