I don't track my car. More of a back road/mountain road toy. I went with the Eforce and had ECS install and tune it. It's not a big dyno number setup but the instant grunt is just a blast on the street. I like the fact that it's all done about 5,600RPM. It's still a handful with the stock tires until midway through 3rd gear. It's absolutely quiet which I like. The Eforce works great with my Z51 A6. Be aware, LT's will void the Edelbrock warranty. The only mod you can have is the blower with their tune.

Just my $.02

STAGED

10.9s @ 131.3 mph.

The comments and video are not really specific on the fuel run, tune, ambient conditions (it was 5/16/14 in Bowling Green, KY), and other work to the car in the video.

Other curious thing is I see the brake lights flicker a couple times is if the guy was not trying to go under his dial in time. I know vids show flicker when the LED lights are steadily on because of relative similarity to the most camera frame recording rates, but this is strange. Car didn't look like it was braking even for a hair.

If that was a standard pkg. boost, blower-only performance on 93 octane, that's pretty good.

I paid $7,600 for the E-Force and $1,000 for the install at a shop recommended by Edelbrock. Everyday driving is fine. The response to sudden pressure on the gas is very noticeable.

Hey Glenmcp,

I have an Edelbrock Eforce on my 2015 Mn7 Z51. Have you had any issues since this post? Mine has been trouble free for 2 months now. I love the sound of the SC when I drive with Exhaust in stealth mode.
Have you been to the strip with it? I will be going Friday and hope to be in the 11 second range. I really like the way it looks under hood.

Can't wait for my ECS/meth kit next season !

Had an 11 CTS-V and your 100% correct. I also had a Saleen with a PD blower and both cars were a blast when you could get traction. Most times I'd have to get off the gas to maintain traction especially in the Saleen.

With the ECS S/C I can get traction off the line. Now, as soon as boost kicks in, when in 1st, it will still fry the tires. I generally short shift 1st and 2nd to 3rd is a blast.

One of my friends nicknamed my car "The Defecator" . I need to put a towel on my seat for first timers

Yet the new Z06 comes with a PD blower. Hmmmmm.

Edelbrock uses the 2.3 Easton tvs rotor pack in this kit (I think).. If this is correct, think zr1, 2013+ gt500, VMP tvs kits, etc. The 2.3 TVS works great and can support a ton of power if the inlet flows enough CFM (VMPs design is a great example of what works)..

Heat generated is going to be dependent upon blower rpm and how efficient edelbrock's intercooler and heat exchanger system works.. To really get serious about getting rid of heat for short periods of time, check out some of the ice box setups that 03/04 cobra guys are running.

And suffers from heat soak after 2 laps. Just sayin'

lol oh boy Mike... Here we go

Mike would you feel safe taking your car to a track day?? Not really looking to run the fastest time ever but have a fun day and not worry about overheating right away ?

StingerBG

Overheating and heat soak are two different things. ALL Corvettes, SC'd or not, are susceptible to overheating. Sad fact but it's true...the cooling on our cars just isn't the greatest. Heat soak, however, is referring to the actual supercharger suffering from loss in efficiency due to elevated heat temps. A roots style blower being more susceptible due to being right on top of the motor. NOT the same thing as overheating. Although it will eventually lead to overheating because you are sucking in warmer air, which is causing a loss of power (cooler IT's = higher HP), and in turn causes the fluid temps to raise even higher. But you will experience the loss in power from heat soak probably before you get an overheating warning.

thegame

ok sooooo could you take a centri car to a road course and have some fun ?

StingerBG

Well you could, yes. But it may still over heat. As will a N/A car. Maybe quicker because of higher HP. BUT, with a centri blower, your IT's will stay a little lower because the blower is less susceptible to heat soak. Granted, when road racing, a roots style blower is generally more desired because of the more stable torque curve they produce. I'm not advocating a centri blower over a roots for road course, I'm just stating the facts. Now the Edlebrock E Force probably has a little better cooling than the stock Z06 system and won't suffer from heat soak as much.

Interesting, thanks Stinger Next year I'm doing an ECS kit with meth to my stingray. Some day I may want take it to a road course with some friends for fun.

C7-Beast

Yes, I do and have. I've not run in 90+ degree weather, but I had no overheat problems. Everything was in the green.The highest temp my engine hit was 230 and my oil to 240vand those temps were at the end of the session.

I don't track mine often but maybe 3 times s year when my buddy gives me a free pass. He is a member.

I do not think PD blowers are bad. They are not ideal for track use and some of us feel a higher cube NA engine would have made for a better track day car. But then I don't think there should be Z06 verts or Autos. I would have expected a ZR1 to have a PD blower.

My comment was more about poiting out there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Saying one is better because auto makers use PD blowers means nothing. They have emmisions requirements they have to meet and perhaps a Centri blower is more polluting. I have no clue. At the end of the day it's personal preference and nothing more.

thegame

Awesome maybe next season I can meet up with you guys ! Glad that Novi is treating you well

JerriVette

Is it recommended to swap out to a better radiator at the time of installation? Dewitt's?

StingerBG

They have to go roots style because centri SC's are hard to get carb compliant

TPSMak

That is not true.. Vortech & Procharger has MANY of their kits compliant. A&A's C5 and C6 kits are CARB Compliant... they are working on getting their C7 Kits complaint also.

We carry EVERY single supercharger for the Vette and can give any one a great deal if their looking for a SC for their C5, C6, or C7... heck I can get a supercharger for just about ANY vehicle a customer has
