Edelbrock E3 Supercharger
Anyone jumpimg on this bandwagon? I never have been a fan of superchargers for road racing, but I just might have to consider this unit! Very well thought out. I wonder why it's not available for the LS2?

It just came out & there will be a lot of interest as it fits under the stock vette hood. Probably most will be waiting to see the results of installs & opinions of the well regarded forum tuners.

After Edlebrock is done we will install one of their "tuner" kits and we'll see how far we can move the numbers with in-house tuning and some methanol - stock pistons will undoubtedly keep us honest but I anticipate 8-9 lbs of boost and 600 RWHP.

We have a bone stock LS3, A6 at Edlebrock getting their charger -it is the first of the A6's. This will be their CARB unit and the results will be representative of what you, the consumer, can expect from an install in your garage - we are told they will be running 5-6 lbs of boost. Look for their results in about a month.

Now we are talking. I like the idea of "at home installation"..Then getting a real tune done. There was a general discussion about Edlebrocks install instructions for the vette not out yet, and that there was no mention of pinning the crank pulley in their Mustang directions. I believe pinning the crank is a must on the LS applications? Right/Wrong...?

I'm guessing that the MAF will also need to be changed, along w/any LS3 specific parts like the MAP sensor.
Edelbrock says they are coming out w/a LS2 kit.

the crank is pinned and a fixture is even supplied to make sure it is installed correctly. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_.../1000/1590.pdf

Ok, that is a ways off. I've had all the parts for the L92 conversion sitting in my online shopping baskets now for a couple months, just been procrastinating.
I wonder how the numbers will compare. If there's little difference between an LS2 and LS3 with this kit, then it may not make sense to do the head swap. However, I am under the impression that NA gains carry over to FI fairly well. I am also curious what the kit does to an LS3 with a proper cam, since we know that's a bottleneck.

How much will it cost ?
I hope they will come out with A LS2 Kit. It looks so much like our ZR1.
I wonder if the programmer will comport wit HP TUNERS. A big savings
under the Hood. I was looking at the one from Regan Racing. Its about
$8.000 bucks.
The 550/600 Engine HP would be only 480RWHP / 530 RWHP but I seemore for those who have Headers, CAM etc for starters. They are getting at least 150 RWHP over the base #s. If they come out with a UNIT for the LS2 I'm in.
