Default Edelbrock E-force on a 408 LS3?

I've done a search here and found very little. I asked a respected Vette shop owner and he said its a nice supercharger. I'm considering it for around Xmas not 100% sure yet. My current 408 with Ls3 top put out 517/497, I'd like a cherry on the top with this nice piece. With a head gasket change I'm in the 10.7cr range. Not looking to race but fun when I drive. I figure I'll be around 600-630 at the rear.

Is anyone running one? Any experience. Bottom line is I want a roots style blower.

I called Edelbrock, guy wanted no part of my install questions. I got, it is made vehicle specific and we don't have a kit for the F-bod. I know, they are protecting themselves from me trying to return it. He also said fuel systems are different...whatever. That's why none of my parts say Edelbrock.

After more research I found Magnuson super chargers for the LS3. After speaking to HELPFULL people they gave me the contact info to a company that makes their SuperCharger kit fit on an F-bod. He said with 4lbs of boost on an LS7, they got an extra 140rwhp on 91oct. With my forged bottom end I could go 5lbs all day.


I will call tomorrow.

Correct, he said the cowl is an issue and this company moves the eng mounts lower so that the cowl isn't an issue. However, come to think of it, moving the engine down a bit could make issues on my LTs. Got to think about it, still though will see what the big deal is with this kit...
