Shane's E-Force Install Thread
#171
Ditto - its an easy, just time consuming, install. Unless you get an early run model like I did which comes with a faulty throttle body, mis-tapped bolt holes for the fuel rails, no bolts for the supercharger pulley, wrong set of spark plugs, no instructions for the GT500 fuel system, a PCV hose outlet pointing at the wrong angle, the wrong connector pre-pinned on one of the harnesses, and a tune (from JDM) written for the wrong air intake kit.
Seriously, find out what serial number you are getting. And check the hand-written number on the parts list that comes in the accessories box and make sure that matches the serial number for the supercharger.
I don't know what serial number they're up to now. I don't know which serial numbers had fixes for all the issues I ran into. I'd guess if you aren't serial number ~500 or greater, I'd suggest opening all the boxes to check all the parts, check for threaded bolt holes (test fit the screws - sometimes only the top 2 threads are missing, and call Edelbrock to confirm the throttle body is worth a crap).

My Edelbrock kit was the tuner kit - which is basically just the supercharger plus whatever the dealer (JDM Engineering) puts together with it.

This particular kit included the GT500 fuel system.

No problems on the stock internals. I'm not real hard on the car though. Its never going to see the track. Its a daily driver and I enjoy blowing by folks on the highway now and then.
...even so, the clutch managed to last only 3 months. It was slipping some, so I replaced it. I put in a Centerforce DFX and Centerforce flywheel.
