Considering getting blown
Not that kind of blown! Thinking about bolting on an Edlebrock E-Force on my 12 CE GS Vert. Any opinions and experiences from others who've done the same thing? Main concern is traction and engine longevity. Input appreciated!

Considering getting blown!
I just completed the install of the 1593 model EForce supercharger on my 2007 A6 C6. I would recommend it to anyone looking for more power,more fun and the sleeper look that this unit provides. I have been running it for most of the summer, on the highway, at the strip and on road courses and love it everywhere, The power bump is great and I still get 25 mpg on the highway running at 80 mph! I don't understand what traction issue you are worried about if you drive with all the electronics on and keeping you out of trouble. The unit should have no impact on longevity of the LS2 if you maintain it well and don't tray to blow it up. My car had 25,000 on the clock when I did the install and the unit has a 100,000 mile warranty. Do your research and go for it. If you don,t want to do a cam swap, headers etc, it is a great bang for the buck.
Good luck.

Getting blown
Zap City, just saw your follow up question. From my short time with the set up, I see no delay in the power kicking in or any kind of lag. When I jump on it, it responds immediately. The blower sounds great when you jump on it and the only thing I want to do is go from the stock exhaust to one of the Corsa set ups, either Touring or Sport. Let us know what you decide to do. Goog luck!!
