Wow, that's strange. Could be that it didn't load correctly or something. When you plug it in it just shows nothing?

Did you get the tuner and the e-force kit from Brenspeed? If so, just call Brent and he'll email you the tune so you can load it on the tuner. His tune would be a ton better than the generic edelbrock tune anyway.

I ordered the kit from Brenspeed but the kit and the tuner came from Edelbrock
I think Edelbrock must have forgot to load the tuner with the pre-programmed tune . Cause as of now I hooked it to my pc and there's is only one tune which is the strategy tune but the chart in the instructions it tells me to choose the "pre-programmed tune". So I'm going to call them tomorrow and see how I can get the correct tune on the device. This is torture lol blower on the car but can't drive it..

Ok so I got my tune taken care of with Edelbrock and took It out for a spin and all I can say it's defiantly faster throughout the all the gears!! The whine is a little on the quite side. I wonder if I change to a open air filter and smaller pulley it should get a bit louder not sure.. Other than that can't wait to get off work to drive it more can't wait finally boosted!!

Congrats. I switched to a lot smaller pulley on mine. But I'm above sea level too, so I wasn't making nearly as much boost as I could.

Thanks!! Took her out for a ride during my lunch break And wow it gets up!! Even with having these heavy a$% rims on too!! I'm going to enjoy the stock set up for a while than probably do the 560hp kit from Brenspeed eventually. They told me that kit would be good for the stock internals. Car feels like my friends stock 2007 gt500 almost..

Thanks!!
Yeah the install wasn't that bad at all just a lot of steps. Just need to take your time and it all comes together pretty easily if you have the right tools!! The E-Force really woke up my exhaust to when I'm boosting it's screams now!!!

If you are running the canned Edelbrock tune with the exhaust mods in your sig you're might be leaving a lot of power on the table. Very doubtful the canned tune is going to account for any of it.
