Unfortunately not. I gave my deposit on August 16th and haven't heard back from them. I've been thinking about it for a month and a half with no end in sight. I may just give up.
Maybe I can get my deposit back.

My car's an A6 LS2 with L92 heads, cam, headers and Z06 fuel pump. The way I look at it, I realized a significant HP bump and a very appreciable increase in torque. I received a P/M from another forum member with an LS3 and very similar engine mod's. He installed an E-Force with the Z06 fuel pump and his car is producing 545 RWHP, but he feels there's more to be realized with a better tune. I'm not going to comment until I get the car back. I'm trying not to put too much emphasis on numbers now. The goal was to change how the car performed and so far, I haven't had a chance to experience that.
C6Vette2009 - 10mikeymike got great numbers with his install, but note that his car has LS3 heads, a cam, headers, etc.
My bone-stock 2007 LS2 6 speed, got 501 rwhp after only the E-force install and the 3.5" pulley. This is a 139 rwhp increase over my baseline.

The way I look at it...your much better off...You have the use of your car and when the shop you chose is ready...I'm sure they will get your car in and out of there in a few days.
fwiw..I personally think you're lucky you still have the use of your car everyday until they are ready or get the correct parts in.
Like I suggested...keep the faith....and since its been a month and a half...give the shop a call and see what kind of time frame they are looking at and how long your car will be in the shop once they start.
I believe this is a very cool mod especially if you want day to day reliability..
I do believe a lot of guys are recommending the Dewitts radiator at the same time. Did you plan on doing that as well?

Don't give up the faith...At least you have the use of your vehicle and its not just sitting at some tuners shop collecting dust.

And yes, I am happy I have my car at home until I can get mods done.
Thanks.

Just give them a call because my experience with them was 100% satisfactory. Everything was done professionally and again... on time!
BTW Motorhead 47's setup is putting out just about what Edlebrock claims. He started with 30 or 36 more HP so his numbers are good. I'm right at 500 rwhp and with the smaller pulley would be at 550 also. As of now I'm very happy with the performance and really don't want to change the pump to run more boost!
I'm just waiting for my new wheels and tires from CCW which I'm hoping gets shipped this week.... So far I've had ZERO issues with the E-Force and nothing to do but enjoy the extra power!! Hang in there and get it done because you will love it IMO...

Six full months on my car...self installed 1591 kit on my LS3 (yes I did the Z06 fuel pump in my garage on jack stands...no it wasn't easy)...(appointment was easy to get though)...I continue to tweak the setup (cold air mod and a fuel feed change) and I've had no issues. I tune my own (car has headers and a cam) and it runs great.
Clean setup, purpose built kit, maintenance free although I will have to change the supercharger gear oil at 100,000 miles
, quiet with just a hint of what is under the hood, tons more power than I can effectively use. 100% satisfied but I'll continue to tweak the setup.
Must be a pretty good setup...even Lingenfelter is offering a 670HP version now...

Have you contacted Chris or Mike at ECS? I had a date certain scheduled and mine was done exactly on time. It took 2 days and all is well with my install. Really doesn't sounds like ECS to me?? Do they NOT have an E-Force kit?

oH..If its ECS..those guys are great. Give them a call and see when they plan to do the installation..
chuckster says he had a two day turnaround...and man that is impressive service...
Don't give up the faith...you'll be real glad you did it. I can't wait to hear your impressions!!!!!!
think of it this way...the anticipation is half the fun and if you still have your vette to cruise around it....its a win win till they are ready for you..(probably a product hold back by edelbrock...)

talk about some power with those cool temps! Anyway hang in there because it sounds like Edlebrock isn't shipping a lot of these units yet. I simply got lucky getting the first one they received... It's well worth the wait however...
