540 rwhp 518 rwtq - Edelbrock E-Force on bone stock C6 427
Our customer came in with a brand new 60th Anniversary 2013 Corvette 427. The car is bone stock down to the air filter. Maximum boost was 5 psi. The Edelbrock E-Force kit installs very cleanly!

It looks like a nice clean install. I would have thought there would have been a higher rwhp gain. My 2013 427 w/o FI dynoed at 454rwhp corrected (484 uncorrected). The only things not stock on mine are the Borla ATAK axle back and an Attack Blue air filter. The E-Force only netted an additional 86rwhp.
My 2006 LS2 is running a Vortech V2 with LG Pro long tubes and puts down 541rwhp with 7PSI boost and an A6 trans.
Would a set of headers on the 427 increase the rwhp by much? I ask because I had considered going with an E-Force on my 427 but that's a lot of coin for 86rwhp. Your torque number is really significant, though.

He's just enjoying the car for now.
Keep in mind this is only 3-5 psi and the car is completely stock. Yes, adding headers would pickup quite a bit of power. Yup, tons of low end torque.

Words easily spoken by someone who didn't just drop $75k for the car with a motor that is not known to be tolerant of a lot of boost. Maintaining low boost allows the LS7 to live a long life...and probably protect the extended warranty that came with the blower!

Could've done the same by adding a cam for 1/3 the price.

Maybe someday I'll want more but there is so much power right now I'm just smiling and enjoying a really sound well built car.
Thanks again Hinson.

By the way both Lingenfelter http://www.lingenfelter.com/engine-p...-force-tvs2300 (657 horsepower / 582 ft lbs of torque) & Calloway http://www.callawaycars.com/cars/callaway-c17-corvette/ (652 horsepower) have S.C.'ed the 427 with the exact same Eforce unit , & both came out with over a hundred more H.P. than O.P., and both warranty their packages, so I have doubts about reliability issues of upping the boost. There may be additional components not used in the O.P.'s build but not a 100 plus H.P. worth!
Eforce and other S.C.s are on so many LS7 motors without problems.

After a week of one awesome pull after another it became obvious the system is bullet proof and I did not get the warranty.
The difference is night and day, well worth the money and you wont be disappointing.
Hinson built my system and tuned it. I just spoke with Brian last week about putting together a plan for a bump up in performance. I'm planning on going with long tube headers and pipe back to factory mufflers, a bigger pulley for a few more pounds of boost and a more aggressive tune.
If i'm not mistaken my dyno came in around 660 and I would like to see 700 - 750. That HP / TQ is going to be more than I ever had before and unnecessary but why own a 100k car and not get the full potential out of it? Tq is so addicting, I have spent so many thousands of $$ over the years just to move quicker and it seems its never enough.
But to answer your question, the e-force puts the hammer down and it still scares me somethimes when I let my mind wonder off a rabbit trail and I am on the throttle.

Im still loving it. Originally It was my intention to purchase the warranty and they give you up to 3 days to buy it.
After a week of one awesome pull after another it became obvious the system is bullet proof and I did not get the warranty.
