Edelbrock Stage 2 Supercharger install

How much did the install run you? Discounting the DSS piece...

I ran into a bt of trouble with the GT 500 fuel pump that I'll be looking into this weekend.

Overall this was a a great experience. I am not sure I will leave the 4.10 gears in since it shifts much too quickly through the gears. Thinking maybe 3.55, it's got so much power and the torque curve is so flat!

What kind of trouble with the GT500 pump setup?

I have a used Boss 302 strut tower brace that I had before. Let me know if you’re interested.

Why did you change braces. TO ME the Boss brace is more attractive.

What's the condition of the brace and how much do you want for it?

BTW here is a response for our tech guy on your question.
The intercooler is RTV’d in and near impossible to remove after that. Most people that try to get it out damage the intercooler and the supercharger housing itself. PCV oil on the intercooler core is a normal deal and should not be a concern.

Seems that this is a dual pick up pump, at a half tank on the ride home I ran out of gas (gauge fluctuated between half and empty a few times and then stayed on empty), thanks to a good Samaritan I was able to get a few gallons, fired it back up but need to stay at a full tank for the ride home.

$1621.05 that was for the complete install and tune and dyno. Seemed reasonable to me.

Thank you!!!! That helps a lot. The brace has some discoloring on one end. It is not corrosion. I think I missed rinsing off a degreaser and it stained the finish. Otherwise, it shows 3 years of wear. Can be easily painted.
I got the new one as a present. My family heard me say I wished I had seen this one first. I got it last Xmas. New Boss 302 braces are $200. I’ll take $50 plus actual shipping.

Whoever installed it probably forgot to attach the passenger side siphon hose back onto the new pump assembly.
Pop it back out and put the hose back on.

I think it would be a good idea to get a good catch-can installed right away to avoid the problem.

So this will fit with the Edelbrock Supercharger? What's it made of, steel or aluminum? Can you tell me what shipping would be to 29576?

Is it made of aluminum or steel? Did you have it on your car with the Edelbrock supercharger? Can you see what it would cost to ship to 29576. I am interested! Thanks...

Is it made of aluminum or steel?

It’s rectangular steel tubing with a silver powder coating.

(according to CJPonyparts)

Yes I had it on the car. You can see it in the photo. I’ll check shipping price and get back ASAP.

This is what I came up with.

Thanks!

The fuel pump problem was the hose, I connected the cross over and should be good to go!

Going to sit tight for now on the brace, thanks for the offer!

So it’s been a couple of months now with the E-Force. How do you feel about it now, any regrets?

Any caveats or information of not for prospective buyers?

I’m really wanting to pull the trigger, but now I’m waiting for the COVID-19 pandemic to begin the rear view mirror. I’m reluctant to let go of that much cash until I know that some unforeseen related issue won’t require that money.

Also, I want to do my OPG/CS at the same time. If it appears there is a heat issue I’m considering a radiator upgrade, and heat exchanger w/fans.

Any updates you can provide are helpful to the planning process.

Pro-Dyno will likely do all the work.

I guess @Maypo isn’t watching the thread anymore.
