E Force updates??
Getting ready to pull the trigger.....but before i do has anyone with this set up had any issues?? How is your stock clutch holding up? Any heat issues? Any oil leaks issues? Is it what you expected for the money you spent? I have a manual so Im real concerned about everytime I get on her she breaks loose (going with the 554 kit).

Coltsfan,
Where you getting this done. Not to far away from me and I'm having a hard time finding a shop to do tuning / performance installs.
Thanks,

My car is an auto so I can't speak about the manual issues, but as far as the eforce, it has delivered more than I expected and I'm happy with it. Outside of a defective part, which edelbrock took good care of I have no issues at all. Yes, you will break the tires loose when you get on it, but that's half the fun.

I recommend the Khumo XS, Bridgestone RE-11, Ventus R-S3 or Nitto NT05. All are very good and very sticky street radials.

I do, just finished installing one on a 2007 z06 .
1. make sure ECU has latest update 12614676 .when you update you may also have to reprogram the crankshaft position sensor.
2 If you doing it yourself go buy a 10mm universal 1/4 drive socket.and fuel line tool.
3 if it's a Z06 remove steering rack to passenger side 'NOT' drivers side.
4 when car is finished it should sound JUST LIKE IT DID BEFORE SUPERCHARGER WAS INSTALLED.
If you need any more info just email me.

My 07 doesn't have any issues to speak of. I know Elmer does but I don't think that issue is too common. On a Z06, or manual car make sure you remove the alternator pulley bolt and retorque it using locktight. I have a few friends who's pulley spun off.

Also MINOR ISSUE: Original kit I installed provided new brackets for the original horns and the sound result were quite embarrassing (think bip bip cartoon character..). There is a good work around suggestion on this forum.
Maybe E-force fixed it by now...

I am looking to buy one, e force 599 for a 06 A6 base coupe.
I am in Afghanistan and would like to buy and have it installed for when I come back.
Any leads in the Miami area?
I could install also so if I get a good deal.
Thanks
Frank
Forgot to ask if the 07 issues apply to 06 as well?
Thanks again

Some notes...
599hp kit (#1591 like mine) will cost some extra due to fuel pump.
installation for fuel pump on automactics require dropping drive train and maybe exhaust which will cost extra. pump installation write-up....
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...fuel-pump.html
reinstallation of horn is still incorrect, they stopped sending a new horn bracket but still gets attached to firmly. which causes horn to still go weeeeep weeeeeep. see topic and fix...
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-f...install-3.html
edelbrock remove/install using latest document for 1590/1591/1592...
remove old bracket step 120.
attached horn step 127.
http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_.../1000/1590.pdf
some use 345/30/19 instead of 325/30/19 tires on rear. if you do and have "Engine drag Control ", size fronts to 1.1 inches of OD of back tires. i filled out the 3rd party limited warrenty and it states oversized tires limits/voids warrenty, just a f.y.i.
see... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-z...this-mean.html
those are the notes i printed and saved before i had mine installed a couple weeks ago.
