Default Looking for Edelbrock E-force installers in MA

Thinking of supercharging my C7 Z51 with the Edelbrock E-force and need a certified installer in MASS area.

Hope I don't get in trouble for cross-posting...I originally posted in C7 Forced Induction forum but then discovered we have this Northeast forum...

Check out Slowhawk Performance in Bridgewater. I have no personal experience, but have heard nothing but very good things about his work with performance enhancements on newer Vettes.

As capevettes mentioned, slowhawk is a great place to go in MA for that. He's one of the premier LS/LT tuners and does fantastic work. He tuned my H/C C6Z06 and has built a ton of fast, well sorted cars. He mostly does supercharged and turbocharged builds. A great example of his work is this:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1593872514

If he can be trusted with a car like that, you should not hesitate to let him do an Eforce on your car. There are other threads on here where Fran and other shops have recommended him for NE customers that are too far away from their own shops.


If you're central/western MA, ESP (Enhanced Street Performance) in Sterling does excellent work. I've had them work on a bunch of my cars and they do a lot of supercharged builds. The owner, Dave, is a great guy to work with. I will say they are less of a chevy specific tuner than Slowhawlk- they do all sorts of builds. On any given day they might be working on a vette, building a motor for a subaru, motor swapping a mustang or camaro, building a hellcat, or a supercharged SRT8 Jeep.

Another Vote for Slowhawk. Don does great work and did the A&A kit on my C6 also.

We shipped more product to Don than any all of New England's states combined x4 while working in the perf. business.

Specific to LSx/LT cars, you are on the right path.

Thanks all for the recommendations. Looks like a few votes for Slowhawk...

I did correspond with Fortes and Slowhawk but neither seem to be certified Edelbrock installers and I would really like to get the warranty from Edelbrock. Wonder if Slowhawk would be willing to work with them to get on their list...

MPE Racing from Taunton is on Edelbrock installer list. Anyone know these guys?

I will post how it eventually goes. I'm hoping to do it this summer. Maybe by that time I won't care about the warranty

Thanks again,
Pj

Slowhawk had tuned and installed my C5 Z06 with a A&A procharger (bought it with the setup). Car ran great!

You are going to use Slowhawk (Don) and that's the end of this thread.


No seriously....I'm not joking.
