Is you background from a certain aspect of the industry your most involved in (i.e. sales, dealership, retailer, etc.)?



Thanks, guys, for being civil, and getting this cleared up. It's nice to see what have a lot of adults in our community

Worked in a speed shop. Worked for wholsale warehouses, inside and outside sales. Worked as a field rep, woking with race teams and engine builders. Worked for aftermarket race/street parts manufacturer.

While at a Source Interlink / Super Chevy media event for a suspension systems comparo a couple hours today, Edelbrock’s supercharged Corvette was driven in by Vic. He discussed it at length as did Jason. They showed off a wheel dyno graph that laid down 530hp! The torque was more than 480 and VERY flat from about 3500 to 6000 at peak psi of 8. Vic had a very large smile on his face and said “that thing really hauls!”
It was really hot today (90+) and when Vic arrived and opened the hood, you could put your hand on top of the supercharger it was so cool. The intercooler is just under the “hat” or top area.
Sorry, forgot the camera.

WTB more info on this ASAP.

They just finished up the C6. They had made 2 castings so the second is going on the Camaro. They have to sort out the accessory drives and the tune. ETA is to have both cars at SEMA (60 days).

Can you please explain the differences between the TVS2300 and the edelbrok kit?

JM

[Mindz]

They're virtually identical, but with the Edelbrock, air is sucked in from the bottom and blown up through the intercooler and comes down into the cylinder heads. In conventional tvs2300 units, the air is drawn in on top, blown down through the IC, and then makes a u turn to get above the cylinder heads, and another turn to head down into the cylinder heads.

Thanks!
Found this:




Will the actual LS3 CAIs (LMR, ADM, ROTOF) fit this kit?

[HaveBlue]

The Edelbrock unit uses Eaton TVS rotors, there the similarity ends. The E-force is more like the LS9 ZR1 system than a "conventional" systems.

No, the kit will use a modified stock box in order to be certified for an EO number. The Mustang kit is that way. It's in the certification process right now.

What ever you need will come in the kit.

The top of the case looks different than the Mustang too, Also more "ZR1-ish".

Very nice thread folks - thank you
Looks like a lot of careful thought has gone into this design and Edelbrock not just rushing out a "me too" product
By the end of the year we will be spoiled for choice
Now I just need to get the car ;-)

I called a few days ago to ask if they will be looking at the V6. The message on the machine didn't look like they will be doing anything. Hope that they will though.

Yes!!! I've been hoping they'd get their feet wet with the Camaro....and they're gonna do Corvette, now too?

Of all the systems out there, I'm most impressed by the folks that have never done forced induction. Who'da thunk it?

The Corvette was already in the works. It was the follow-up to the Mustang. YOU guys have made the Camaro a bigger priority than it was initially.

BTW,
The designer of this system does have a background in the SC market. He was an engineer at Saleen. Edelbrock gave him a blank slate to build all the things he'd always wanted into the system.
