East Coast Supercharging Paxton NOVI 1500
East Coast Supercharging 1997-2004 5.7 Liter C5 Corvette Supercharger Systems
With the ECS C5 Supercharger System, you get a system designed to work with your factory cooling system, and retains provision for factory, or after market oil coolers. Including things that greatly add to reliability, such as heavy duty belt tensioners and steel double bearing idlers, as well as stainless steel hardware, high quality silicone hoses and high grade, stainless steel t-bolt clamps. All things, that are more often than not, considered upgrades on some other systems.
Belt System
When you install a SC System on your C5, you dramatically increase the load on the vehicles belt system. That’s why they start their C5 system by addressing one of the most critical aspects of a centrifugal supercharging system – not addressed by some other SC manufacturers. Including a super strong, custom belt tensioner designed, specifically, to handle the increased belt load by providing zinc coated steel, double walled ball bearing idlers to replace the factory plastic idlers that are expected to handle the belt load in lesser systems.
Strong and Functional Brackets
ECS uses a proprietary bracket system that provides the most belt wrap possible, while still being user friendly enough to enable easy and fast belt changes when necessary. The ECS brackets are made in house from 3/4 in billet aluminum and include steel idlers along with a stout slide idler, allowing maximum belt wrap and traction.
The Highest Efficiency Intercooler
The C5 Corvette is a “front breather”. Meaning all the air that cools your radiator and AC condenser passes through the nose of the car. That’s why ECS started from scratch when designing our intercooler. The large 17 x 3.5 x 8 in core has proven to support more than 1000 hp, and still provides adequate airflow across the front of the car to allow your AC and cooling systems to keep the car operating as it should, without the added cost of a larger radiator and fans. With the ECS intercooler you won’t need to scoop additional air from the bottom of the car in the attempt to manage heat. Doing this only causes lift on the nose of the car and disturbs the air flow as it was designed in the C5. The Intercooler features a 3 inch inlet and a 4 inch outlet to maximize cooling and airflow that so critical to your supercharged Corvette.
Top Rate Materials
Stainless steel hardware, brand new flow matched injectors, zinc coated steel idlers, 6061 aluminum ducting, stainless steel t-bolt hose clamps, high quality 4 ply silicone hoses, lifetime air filters…. Other kits in the market will use modified stock injectors, plastic idlers, factory belt tensioners, steel ducting, and lesser quality materials, then give you options that are available to cure a known issue or present revision after revision to try and offset shortcomings in design. At ECS we do our best to do it right the first time. Not offer revision after revision in an attempt resolve known shortcomings in design.
Head Unit Options
The Paxton Novi 1500 has been the core of our C5 system for a number of years. This head unit features a self contained oiling system, and super quiet operation making it the top option for most customers. While many customers choose the ECS Supercharging System for its unmatched features and reliability, others choose the ECS Package because it presents far more growth potential that any other supercharging system for the Corvette. Almost any system can deliver 500 rwhp on a factory LS1/LS6, but how many of them can exceed 700rwhp? ECS can.
Possibly the best feature of the Novi 1500, is the scalable power it provides. It will provide 500-600 rear wheel horsepower on otherwise stock C5’s, but when uncorked, it can provide enough boost to generate more than 800 rear wheel horsepower on a properly set up engine. Other manufacturers start off with less expensive, and smaller head units that don’t present nearly the power output of the Novi 1500 leaving you in a situation that when you want more power, you will need to purchase a completely new head unit ($3000+) or a blower cam package ($2500+) to come close to the power the base ECS kit provides.
If you are looking to support above what our base Novi 1500 can support, our bracket system is compatible with several Novi head units to support upwards of 1,300+ whp depending on the application. Our brackets will work with the following head units:
All available in Black or Polished finishes.

Let customers speak for us
from 211 reviewsI can't say enough about silvers and brian. I recently got into an accident that broke one of my coilovers. Brian immediately reached out to his people and got me a single coilover. You can't go wrong with silvers or brian.
I am well pleased in choosing brian and crew for my coilovers. They have been very helpful and got me my order right away.
worked perfect. Install was a breeze! everything was great! Except for the waiting period due to transitioning. maybe next order will be super quick. Thanks Brian for keeping in touch.👍🏼
These are by far a major upgrade over stock the oem rubber mounts couldn't take the abuse and shredded leaking luid all over the engine bay and leaving my engine flopping the amt mounts are a mix of metal on the outside and inside and a hard rubber "bushing" in the middle giving you the best of both worlds and making it durable and everything tighter very easy to install and torque down looks better and definitely feels better very minimal increase in noise and vibration but not enough to really notice or effect everyday driving a must have for higher horsepower applications or if you just beat the **** out of it.
This is a high quality 3D printed guage mount that is installed and replaces the driver's left side heat vent to mount your gauge to and it will still blow air through it without any issues as it's vented on the top and bottom it installs very easy and fast and will fit multiple different gauges and is very sturdy and strong if you have a AEM guage this is not the correct mount they make a specific mount for the AEM gauges.
This bracket is for the c6 corvettes with the Z51 package only not the Z06 they have different coolers and therefore different brackets with that being said this bracket works fantastic definitely when using it with the A&A supercharger kit and don't want to delete your oil cooler like me and so this allows you to move your cooler to a different location and out of the way and still be able to use it with the supercharger.
I upgraded to the four piston Wilwood calipers on the front and rear of my C5 Z06 and boy what a huge difference!!! Not only did they change the way that the car brakes, they look so much better than stock. Couldn't ask for better customer service than Brian!!! One word of advice though....make sure that your offset will clear these calipers!!!

These are a great upgrade for the rear suspension!! Love the adjustability and the look of them much better than stock. Brian always gives excellent customer service and the parts ship out very fast.
I spoke with Brian about my setup and he gave me his recommendation on which Silvers to go with and he was spot on!! It is a night and day difference from the stock suspension and I couldn't be happier!!!
I couldn't be happier with the mcleod twin disk clutch setup it shipped and arrived very fast everything was packaged very nicely and secured it came with very detailed instructions on how to install everything properly also comes from the factory already pre-fitted with ARP hardware so that's definitely a plus! Excellent company Brain is a great guy and super knowledgeable will always help with anything!
This is a very well done piece with very nice hardware. Install was easy thanks to easy to follow instructions.
Use Oil extreme Four engine longevity. Nothing else like it, get it.
Got in contact with Brian and he help me spec out my silvers neomax coilovers and gave a recommendation for Baer front tie rod ends and rear toe arms as well as aFe sway bar endlinks. Install is easy and straightforward, it may take a while for the first time but it’s hard to mess up as long as you follow the instructions. Car feels brand new now, it’s a night and day difference and yet the car still desperately needs an alignment. The bumps that used to make the whole car float and sway side to side are much less noticeable. I still haven’t touched the dampening which is set in the middle on all 4 corners, and while it’s a little on the stiff side I like the ride much more. The car doesn’t wheel hop over bumps or float anymore, way less body roll, hooks and pulls better, and looks way better after dropping it around 2.5 inches from stock height. Everyone with a c5 on stock suspension should definitely consider these silvers.
Looks good. Hopefully I can get it installed correctly. Should stiffen up the diff alot
