Default E-Force Stage 1 vs. Stage 2

Has anyone upgraded to the Stage 2 e-Force and did they notice a better performance boost? For $1000 it's like 50hp on the C6 LS3. Impressions?

I can not give you a answer all your questions but I am getting ready to do the swap. The E-FORCE UPGRADE KIT 15902 can be had for a lot less. Not sure if your $1k figure was including labor rate to swap the pump out or the high priced upgrade kit. Get the 3.50 pulley for around $40, the fuel pump is just a z06 fuel pump that can be found for under $300.

Edelbrock offers the pair as a kit for $700. Can you recommend a good source for that pulley? Yes, I figured $300 labor for the drop of the gas-tank to apply the Z06 pump and pulley-install.

I bought my kit from vendor RDP Store and added the 3.5 pulley knowing I was going to do the swap later on. The $300 labor seems kinda low on the pump swap. pm sent

I purchased the 599 and dyno'd in the high 400s rwhp. Then I downsized to the 3" pulley and ID850 injectors and dyno'd in the low 500s rwhp. I then put in a cam and now at 605 rwhp.

If you are getting a kit, I would purchase the 599 because I know I would always want even more. Unless you cannot afford the additional $1k, go for it. You would be spending $8k for 100 hp increase kit why not spend $9k for the 150 hp increase kit.

He has a 554hp kit installed and is looking to upgrade to the 3.50 pulley and z06 pump. Myself I wanted the 599 kit over the 554 kit when purchased but the additional cost difference didn't justify a $40 pulley and a z06 pump in the $2xx. range.
