Edelbrock E-Force: Initial Impressions
I've put about 125 miles on my 2006 A6 since picking it up from the shop yesterday afternoon.
We started with a 100% bone stock car. Additions were limited to the E-Force, one step smaller pulley, and a KB BAP.
We ended up at a little north of 500 rwhp.
This car pulls *much* stronger and has a much better powerband than my old 500 rwhp ProCharger D-1SC combo.
I was very surprised how responsive the blower is as well how quiet the car is. The car maintained all of its stock driving characteristics.
The kit wasn't the least expensive, or have the greatest upside power potential, but I think it's a perfect fit for my needs.
The turn-key cost including the blower, smaller pulley, KB BAP, install, and custom tuning was a touch over $8K. For the fit/finish of the kit I think this is pretty reasonable.

A sneaky one, on the other hand is perfectly fine! 
It just seemed "terse".

He had recently picked this Grand Sport and had given me a ride a month ago and now , got a ride with E-Force and what a huge difference right off the bat. As soon as he stepped on it, it was instantly on and pulled all the way. His is Auto!

Well, with the winged wheel on your profile, I was gonna guess metro Detroit area, so Road Rebel was my first guess and choice.
His first e-force install was on my car last spring. I know you'll enjoy it...
Thanks again Dr. Phil

Congrats!
Congrats on the E-Force install. I've
I've got about the same # of miles on my E-Force and thus far I'm thrilled with it. Just wish I could be home long enough to get out there and enjoy it!

I was worried about driveability but the car's street manners are perfect. Really no different from stock until you put your foot into it. Power is very smooth throughout the entire RPM range. With the hood closed, you can't hear the blower at all. And with the hood open... you get a lot of "WOW" comments and let's face it, that's important, too.
