Eric Linder's AWESOME 2009 C6 A6
E-FORCE ATTACK PACKAGE





We first met Eric a few years back when he came to us with his Late

LSx GTO. We did a few things like intake, exhaust, tune, shifter, etc.

He loved the car and what we did for him... He went to all the

shows, polished and waxed, and really enjoyed the car....

And then, he disappeared.... Not sure why... No more Eric.

Quite some time passed and one day this shiny black 2009 C6 A6 pulls

in the driveway...

ERIC'S BACK!

This guy was cool! Friendly, polite, appreciative, and this guy even

brings home-made sandwiches almost every time he comes. A real

pleasure to have around.


Eric was bitten by the bug with his GTO and now that he had the Vette,

he wanted to get started....Right away...

First off... VARARAM, STAT, and CoW A6 TUNE!





After the VARARAM, STAT, and CoW A6 ATTACK TUNE...

Came the BORLAS! And the PFADT SWAY BARS!





So, How do you make BORLAS SOUND BETTER??!?!?!

You add AMERICAN RACING HEADERS with High Flow Cats!!!!!

ARTWORK!



Now you say... "WHAT AN AWESOME CAR THAT MUST BE!"

Can we make it BETTER, STRONGER....FASTER????

YES!

The CORVETTES of WESTCHESTER
3.42 A6 ATTACK PACKAGE REAR END!




Now, you gotta be sayin'... "Eric's Got a pretty damn COOL (and FAST)

C6 Automatic Corvette."

Eric drove the AWESOME ATTACK PACKAGE C6 for a month or so when

he stopped by the shop one day. That day, we were in the middle of

installing our very first EDELBROCK E-FORCE SUPERCHARGER.

Eric was wide eyed and seemed to be in a trance...

"Chuck!" he says.... "Come here!"...... "I want that....Here's my Credit Card!"

I replied.... "Eric, Are you sure??? Isn't your car FAST ENOUGH ALREADY???"

He responds.... " Here, TAKE IT.... Here's my card... I want that...!!!"

And SO, Our story continues....

One 599 HP EDELBROCK E-FORCE kit COMING RIGHT UP!

DOCTOR, PLEASE PREP THE PATIENT FOR SURGERY.

Cover the fenders with plastic please...



Blue Painter's tape and clear plastic...PROTECT THE PAINT!





It all starts HERE. READ THE DIRECTIONS.



Here's some of the parts out of the Edelbrock Crate.







The process BEGINS.



REMOVE THE FRONT BUMPER.









REMOVE THE VARARAM and install the NEW VALLEY PLATE,

TENSIONER ASSEMBLY and related.



Drill the crank and PIN it so the pulley does not rotate on the crank.





Install the INTERCOOLER, PUMP, and HOSES.



The E-FORCE is heavy and takes 2 or 3 guys to safely put in place.







SO, while we're in the middle of this amazing build,

Eric decides to CUSTOMIZE and PERSONALIZE his E-FORCE...

Eric My friend.... Only for you.... The time I spent.... Sheesh...

Here we go....Custom Valve Covers and Coil Re-Location Drama!



Dr.Chuck! You're needed in the operating room again!

Modify the wiring harness to make it work.



TOTALLY CUSTOM - ONE OFF MODIFIED COIL RELOCATION KIT...PHEW!





IMMACULATE INTERIOR A-LA ERIC... And the CoW CUSTOM GAUGE PACKAGE.



And here's the finished product....POLISHED and READY to TAKE FIRST PLACE!





And the Proud PAPA with his BABY...

BEST IN SHOW EVERY TIME... FAST AS HELL... IMMACULATE....

And TOTALLY RELIABLE for long trips to visit his son...



Eric's Beautiful 2009 C6 A6 w/3.42s and E-FORCE 599 kit makes about

545 WHP on 93 OCTANE.

Other goodies include Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's all around

and LOTS of WAX and POLISH!

And a special THANK YOU to Eric for allowing us to use his

amazing Vehicle to test the 2009 CORVETTE Automatic Transmission

Version of the Super Popular CoW BOOSTER!




Eric My Friend,

You're a special guy and always a pleasure to have around...

Thanks for all your support, help around the shop, and most especially

all those days you came packin' a GREAT LUNCH for me and the guys!

Thank you VERY MUCH!

Chuck CoW

Regardless of what it would have made on the dyno, one point I try

to make is that while some of you have a WOT DYNO HP number in

your heads, and you use that as a reference or gauge of performance...

one thing to keep in mind wether you have the E-FORCE or not, most

of these Automatic cars we build here have a 2800 converter and

more importantly our 3.42 A6 ATTACK PACKAGE REAR END.

Just take any HP # you're accustomed to and add to it a converter and

our rear end.....

When you drive a car like this on the street, it will give you a totally

new perspective on what horsepower means.....

In other words, a car configured differently, having the SAME or similar

WOT dyno number.....will open your eyes to a totally new meaning

of the word "PERFORMANCE".
