Just like all those engineers that went with the eaton for their production 120k super vette.

Not to say OEM's are perfect, but they have a lot more resources and education than us hobbyists could ever dream of.

This had nothing to do with power or performance, it had to do with reliablility for a street car. They are perfect for a car that has to have a 100K mile warranty and require little to no maintenance.

I hope his judgement turns out to be sound and he gets exactly the sort of system that the eforce was meant to be. A fun street car producing about 550 HP. Keep us posted.

Default Edlebrock e-force small oil leak issue....

I have a couple of small oil leaks around the screws holding the supercharger head in place. I tied to post a picture but with no luck. Should I be concerned after 7,000 miles?

Thanks,
Greg
