I have an oddball question. Will the ZR1/LS9 stock intake fit the E-Force? I'm thinking an E-Force on down the line for my LS7 but I prefer to use the stock Donaldson PowerCore filter element.

I doubt it...the Edelbrock snout comes off the head unit at an angle to clear the drive pulley. The angle is straightened back out in the forward half of the air bridge.

Thanks. I see that now. It looks like the ZR1 TB points slightly upward but straight ahead but the flex bellows is curved to align with the air breather.

1) 1590 or 1591: Is the only real difference a Z06 fuel pump? Have you had any issues with reliability? Do body panels have to come off for the fuel pump install? NO PROBLEMS WITH THE 1591

2) Power Increase: Is the power increase noticeable? Meaning, does it throw you back in your seat and make you smile? OH YEA IT HITS HARDER FOR SURE. i AM AROUND 300HP MORE THAN STOCK

3) Drivability: Can you drive the car as it was stock? Does the balance of the car feel different? IT DRIVES THE SAME FOR THE MOST PART. NO ISSUE WITH BALLANCE. I AUTOCROSS WITH IT

4) Fuel: Did you notice any decrease in fuel economy? Was it severe such as a 5-10 MPG change? @ 85 I AVERGAGE 22MPG TOTAL AVERAGE 15MPG

5) Transmission: Have you had any problems with your transmission? Either manual or A6? With the A6 are you noticing any wear or slip? Did you do any upgrades so the driveline could take the extra power. A6 WITH NO PROBLEMS YET

6) Tires: Are you going through tires quicker? YES, BUT I DRIVE LIKE A JACK ***

7) Maintenance: Has anything on the car broken as a result of the install? Did putting the E-Force on cause other mechanical problems? NO

8) Install: Did you install your system yourself or take it to a tuner? Did you have any problems with the install if a tuner was not as familiar with the system? FIRST TIME INSTALL FOR A FRIEND OF MINE. HE SAID IT WAS EASY ALL BUT THE FUEL PUMP. NO PROBLEMS

9) Bang for Buck: Is the E-Force a great deal? Is the price to high? THIS DEPENDS ON YOUR BUDGET. I FEEL LIKE IT WAS A GREAT DEAL FOR THE POWER
