Default New Corvette
I am new to the Corvette community. I purchased my 2008 Corvette about a month ago. I quickly realized that 436 HP was not enough. With my wife's approval, I installed an Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger last week. WOW, what a difference. 617 HP at the motor and 481.5 HP at the rear wheels.
