Edelbrock E-Force Installation
Counting the days until we get ATOMIC8 back on the road. We are taking our time to do it right and make the engine compartment look like a show piece. I had 417 RWHP prior to this installation with a Callaway Honker CAI, Stainless Works headers and hi-flow CATX plus a dyno tune. If anyone is looking for Christmas presents, I have a CAI and Atomic orange fuel rail covers that are availble.

Looking quite nice. Thought I would pass along my most recent E Force experience after adding a complete z06 exhaust with tune. A recent 265 mile road trip with 2 adults golf clubs etc packed to the max. The car averaged 74.3 MPH and 29.7 MPG. This was Ca-to Lake Havasu AZ not a flat stretch of highway. This is almost 3 MPG better than bone stock average

interested in how usable the power is? 150+ HP to the wheels is a big change - I'm wondering how this drives in an M6?
I am torn between bolt-ons and a cam versus the E-Force in an LS3... I'm afraid the E-Force will be too much power from a traction, road-course perspective?
My personal target would be Z06 power levels, or around 450 at the wheels. I'm guessing the E-Force is going to be 500+ at the wheels?

Max. power at 6500 rpm - 5 lbs boost. Problem - Experiencing belt slippage. Has anyone experienced this? We were unable to talk with Edelbrock techs. Put on hold for over 20 min. Not good. Any suggestions would be helpful.

yeah rwhp should be higher at 7psi but it's the holidays so you may have to wait to hear from EB until next year.

The numbers are definitly low, but I suppose they would be if the belt slips. If the car is a manual, make sure the alternator pulley bolt isn't coming loose. You need to put loctite on it as they are known to spin out on eforce installs.
