2016 Corvette Z06 E-force Build Thread - LG Motorsports -
There are a number of things you can do with the new Z06 Corvette as far as performance upgrades, there are pulley changes, there are Procharger kits out there and also the E-Force Supercharger package. For those that like the feel of a roots blower, Edelbrock has made a very nice kit to replace the stock 1.7L supercharger with a bigger 2.3L unit as was found on the C6ZR1's.
Car:
2016 Corvette Z06 with the Z07 package and M7 manual transmission
Planned upgrades:
E-Force Supercharger
LG Super Pro 1 7/8 Exhaust
Corsa Extreme mufflers with black tips
HallTech CAI
LG Super Cool Radiator
Increased boost

Sorry for the delay, actually had a truck setup to pick the car up and head back home to its owner for the weekend so I didn't get the graphs posted. Coming shortly.

I did notice a few interesting things coming from this experiment.
The E-force upgrade is a complete bolt on assembly but should be done by a professional shop as there is no bleeder screws on the coolant system for the blower so special tools are required to re-fill the intercooler system after install.
Even while slowing the blower down it does make more boost than stock given the larger displacement of the blower. Stock lower pulley was retained, E-force upper pulley is approx 0.200" larger in diameter
Stock boost (measured by HPTuners 9.5-10psi)
E-Force boost (measured by HPTuners 12.9-13 psi of boost)
With the additional 2-3 psi of boost, manifold temp remained within 1 degree of stock temps (154-158 degrees during pulls)
Tune supplied with the E-Force is relatively conservative and not changed much from stock. It is designed to support cars running on 91 octane pump fuel as well.
It would be interesting to see what power levels the blower itself can support given a change in pulleys and other modifications. Edelbrock does offer a number of pulley choices for the blower for it to make more boost depending on application.
Stock baseline pull vs. E-Force stage 1 with supplied tune. No changes
Stock baseline vs. E Force stage i with LG 1 7/8 Super Pro headers, Corsa exhaust, Halltech CAI, and LGM tune
Stock baseline vs. E Force stage I vs. E Force stage i with LG 1 7/8 Super Pro headers, Corsa exhaust, Halltech CAI, and LGM tune

Actually pretty close to the stock blower with 2 inch ARH, Halltech intake tune. The corsa maybe a little better than the Z06 Npp as well. Boost is only 11.74 though!

Finally got going on it yesterday afternoon a bit and still have more work to do before I can make a full pull with it but I thought you would like to see some updates compared to just the E-Force/Corsa/LG Super Pro's.
Again, that is the addition of a 15% overdrive lower, LG cam, LG ported LT4 heads and Alky Controls meth system.
