Edelbrock Supercharger going in this weekend!
Anyone with the Edelbrock supercharger please chime in?This weekend I'm having an Edelbrock e-force supercharger installed. Going with the competition cold air kit, GT500 fuel system, plugs, 3.50 pulley, custom dyno tune, etc. Looking to go to a max of about 10#'s of boost. Don't want to go much further. Hopefully HP is at 475 or so. I am also installing a boost gauge and A/F guage. I was thinking of the possibility of a coolant gauge too that would read the supercharger coolant temp. What do you guys think of that? Or any other one you think is better? I hear fuel pressure is good but I hear the pressure readings aren't alway accurate. There are many superchargers on the market but it was the Edelbrock quality and overall looks and performance that sold me.

Congratulations!
Slight off topic... good whipple vs edlebrock thread here - http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=483737
Follow the links in that thread for very interesting dyno information. There are dyno charts for whipple & edelbrock at similar boost levels for Mustang GT Autos both done by the same tuner on the same dyno.
And I say Edelbrock wins on performance. ~50 more ft-lbs of torque across the board and does so with lower boost levels. rwhp is also higher for Edlebock throughout most of the rpm band (whipple catches up at the end to produce about the same peak rwhp numbers).

Going good so far. Won't have numbers or any real info until Wednesday when it hits the dyno. So far the supercharger is mounted, plugs, injectors, fuel rails, crossover, intercooler and pump and some various wiring are complete. Fuel pump, competition air kit, gauges and other various wiring and coolant hoses etc still need to get done then the nose put on. I have some pics to post but don't know how to get them on here. Maybe I'll put them in my profile for you to view.
