Default E Forced by CoW......


I just got back from a 4 day visit to CoW. I want to thank Chuck, Brandon and Bill for the great work and effort to get me done and on the road in reasonable time. From starting early to working late into the night these guys really made it happen. I can tell you that on the tuning end, Chuck really takes the time and doesnt want you to leave until everything is right. He spent many hours between the dyno and road making sure. This is appreciated as its a long way for me and best to be right the first time.

I think I am done with mods for this year after adding these:
E force 599 kit
3.42 rear end with hardened shafts (CoW A6 Attack package)
NPP exhaust with mild to wild switch
Z-51 Sway bars
Full width rear spoiler
Padded console lid cover and a few other cosmetic mods.

I have lots of pics of the job all the way through but will only post a few as not to bore anyone.

As you can tell in this pic CoW has done this once or twice before




My baby about ready to go...



Dynoing with Chuck till 1 am !!!




The car drives like a beast now (when you want it to) and I am thrilled with all the changes. I wouldnt do anything differently. Oh. Except one thing..... Bill..........enough with the turkey sandwiches.......

Thanks again

Keeping in mind that I wanted a safe, conservative tune and as you see in this picture it was 90 degrees that night we got 480 rwhp out of it. All agreed that with more tune and lower temps it could have been 500+ area.

You'll love the awesome low end torque even in normal non-aggressive driving.

Thanks... I love the way it drives... and I think from what I have read its the way to go for guys like me who want a fun ride, minimal troubles.... and are not really interested in running around showing people dyno sheets.

Because im not going to start another E-force bashing thread... That is why I edited my original post. But if you want to know where im coming from its here.. That horsepower level is easily attainable using a cam and bolt ons, but you will sacrifice some "drivability". Its just alot of cash to shell out for sub 500rwhp. And in the forced induction world, LS2's safely make 550rwhp all day long with no issues with conservative tunes using centrifugal or turbo setups on stock engines, add a cam, headers, your at 600rwhp with no problems. Im leaving it at that, not going to start a argument or derail this thread. Thats why I caught myself before it happened.

Enjoy it, the power curve is amazing with screw type blowers.

Clean install, but I agree with Breecher that those power levels are pretty tame for a forced induction LS2.

Any plans on adding any headers? That'll open the whole system up much better than the stock manifolds and easily pick up 30rwhp with that supercharger.
