Eforce on C7
We have a saying around here: “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing at the last possible moment.” For 2013 SEMA show exhibitors who wanted to have a new C7 Corvette in their booth, the window of opportunity was very, very small between receiving the cars and the show’s opening day. And that’s just for companies that were just going to sticker one up as a traffic draw – imagine if you were committed to showing a complete supercharger system for the new LT1 with practically no time to actually work on the car!
That’s exactly the challenge Edelbrock Performance took on this year. The installation of their Stingray supercharger system went right down to the wire, with the car literally being driven just a few blocks up and down the street to confirm everything was running right before the car was loaded onto the trailer for the trip from Torrance, California to Las Vegas.
Run right it did, though, and that’s a testament to just how good the Edelbrock engineering staff really is. Two things made the quick turnaround possible – advanced CAD data from GM that allowed Edelbrock to get all the critical dimensions right (like hood and cowl clearance) for the Corvette, and ECU calibration and physical dimensions from their 2014 Silverado supercharger project, which was being developed in parallel to the C7 blower.
Since both the Corvette and pickup share similar Gen V direct injection V8 engines, being able to have the Silverado prototype running made it possible to work out a lot of the details and make sure that the test-article supercharger for the Corvette, seen here, would fit and work on the first try. From here, the company will go back to their headquarters and work on refining both E-FORCE systems into production-ready versions for a spring 2014 release.
How much power will they make? Well, there hasn’t been time yet to dial either system in, but based on the results using the same Eaton TVS rotor pack on the C6 Corvette, 150+ horsepower should be an achievable goal. The limiting factor, we are told, is the capacity of the high-pressure direct injection fuel pump, but Edelbrock is already considering a high-output version of the E-FORCE kit that would include an increased-capacity pump to allow higher boost.
The capacity of the high-pressure direct injection fuel pump is likely to be the limiting factor for LT1 superchargers – at least until upgraded pumps are available…
The Best of Corvette for Corvette Enthusiasts

I feel bad for you...
If its under 900whp I get bored with it in a few mins...

Modern technology has made horsepower very easy to achieve with the right setup. 900 is the old 600, most people building forged engines these days are going for 900+ out of the gate.
I know there are 1000+whp cars out there that are on the street, but anything that can run deep 10 second times all day long is a hell of a fast car.
"E Force" is a displacement blower and when you start hitting 600+#'s to the rear wheels by 3000 rpm, it takes dedicated tires and suspension to hook up this much torque.
On the other hand one can surpass ZR1 "torque to the ground" at considerably lower numbers and have a much more all around enjoyable car than something that does "900 out of the gate," such as Edelbrock is seeking to do for their customers
Despite different ownerships Edelbrock has continued to be a name brand associated with reliable performance backed by an honorable company for many years.......... I would expect their "E-Force" Supercharger for the C7 to continue the tradition of quality products for the discriminating performance enthusiasts.
Disclaimer: I have never been more than "just a customer" of Edelbrock Performance Products

If you want to compete for the street crown, "in the 9's" does not work these days........ you need to be "in the 8's" if you want to be at the head of the pack.
Meanwhile, and while using only street "all-around safe tires" there is a lot to be enjoyed for the owners of cars that only turn low tens and high nines, especially when they can handle like the C7 does
