Chevrolet Performance Connect & Cruise eCrate Q&A

Q.  Is the eCrate street legal?
A.  Yes. This part is 50-state emissions street legal when installed and used as described in the CARB executive order (please refer to EO# B-88). www.chevrolet.com/performance-parts/emissionsn for additional details.

Q   Do I need a transmission?
A.  The current eCrate kit requires a GM 4-speed automatic transmission with an external mode switch. (e.g., 4L60, 4L65, 4L70, 4L75 Transmissions). This helps to make the eCrate conversion easier for vehicles that already have a conventional driveline, plus it provides extra torque in lower gears and extra speed with overdrive. We are working on bringing a direct drive variant option to our eCrate portfolio. 

Q.  Can I use a manual transmission?
A.  A conversion kit for manual transmissions is not yet available.

Q.  Can I increase horsepower?
A.  The first-ever Chevy eCrate conversion kit has a locked system that does not allow you to increase horsepower at this time.
