Slightly Used E-Force Value - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

StreetStrip · 06-18-2011, 08:36 PM

Gents,
I'm having a 418 stroker built by Livernois who recommends that I upgrade my SC to 3.6L. So, I need to sell my E-Force but have no idea what it's worth and would appreciate some guesses. Here's what I have to sell:

Edelbrock E-Force Model 1599 - Paid: $6500
Edelbrock E-Force CAI - Paid: $400
Eforce 3.25" Pulley: Paid: $60
Bosch 65lb/hr Injectors: Paid: $450

With the CAI, 3.25" pulley, and custom tune it made 606 rwhp/556rwt. I added a "blower" cam and it jumped to 648 rwhp/586rwt.

My car only has 5700 miles on it and the E-Force was installed at 1000 miles, so it's very lightly used.

If only I had it!

epstein · 06-19-2011, 07:04 AM

why upgrade it ..... There are guys who are in the mid 700's with their e force..... Granted I do believe he said it was maxed out......But mid 700's is plenty no?

Keep it...put it on the stroker.

The answer to your question. I've always seen performance parts go fir roughly 50-60% of what you paid for it. That's the general rule on parts

That's what I'm thinking too, dealers make 25-35% when they sell at MSRP, so that's an immediate depreciation.

My goal is 800 rwhp which Livernois said the 2.3L SC's won't generate, although 732 is pretty darn close.

Turbo99 · 06-19-2011, 07:38 PM

You will be damn close to your goal with the proper pulley and tune, close enough to not have to go through all the BS of selling/buying blowers again.

FYI,we have made 835 rwhp with a 2300 at only 5500rpm,this is on e 85,the car made 780 rwhp on 93 vs 804 on e 85 but we have since switched heads to get the 835 number on e 85.

Interesting. How aggressive was the tune?
