Thank you for purchasing the Edelbrock 6.2L GM Supercharger System for the 2010 Chevy Camaro. The Edelbrock EForce Supercharger System for the 2010 Camaro SS utilizes Eaton’s new Gen VI TVS Supercharger rotors, featuring a four lobe design with a full 160 deg. of twist for maximum flow, minimum temperature rise, quiet operation, and the reliability for which Eaton is known. The Edelbrock Supercharger is a complete system that maximizes efficiency and performance by minimizing air restriction into, and out of, the supercharger. This results in maximum airflow, with minimal temperature rise and power consumption. The supercharger housing itself is integrated into the intake manifold for a seamless design with minimal components, eliminating the possibility of vacuum leaks between gasket surfaces. The system also utilizes a front drive, front inlet configuration giving it the shortest, least restrictive inlet path on the market. The supercharger is inverted, expelling the air upward. Air pressure then builds in the plenum, before being drawn down through each of two intercooler cores, oriented horizontally, next to, and below the supercharger outlet. After passing through the intercooler cores, the air travels through the long 12” individual intake runners, which route underneath the supercharger housing to the cylinder head ports, in a horizontal, nested configuration. The upper plenum area is enclosed by a top cover that has been designed to provide an appealing and distinctive under-hood appearance. This configuration allows for a compact package that can fit under the stock hood and cowl of the Camaro, without sacrificing runner length, or intercooler area. The E-Force supercharger features a uniquely styled plenum, and includes matching side covers. The Edelbrock supercharger provides neck snapping performance that is safe to operate on a completely stock engine. It is 50-state emissions legal, and can be had with an optional 5-year 100,000 mile warranty so that there are no worries when installing it on a brand new car.

Installation Instructions

Due to the complexity of the Edelbrock E-Force Supercharging system, it is recommended that this system only be installed by a qualified professional with access to a service lift, pneumatic tools, and a strong familiarity with automotive service procedures. To qualify for the optional warranty, it is necessary to have this system installed by a certified ASE technician, GM dealership, or Edelbrock approved installer. Failure to have this system installed by a properly certified service center may result in voiding of the optional warranty offered with this system. Please contact the Edelbrock Technical Support department if you have any questions regarding how this system and/or your installer of choice will affect any warranty coverage for which your vehicle may qualify.

Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void warranty and may

result in poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.

Any equipment that directly modifies the fuel mixture or ignition timing of the engine can cause severe engine damage if used in conjunction with the Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger System. This includes, but is not limited to: ignition boxes, air/fuel controllers, OBDII programmers, and any other device that modifies signals to and/or from the ECU. Aftermarket bolt-on equipment such as underdrive pulleys or air intake kits will also conflict with the operation of the supercharger and must be removed prior to installation. Use of any of these products with the E-Force Supercharger could result in severe engine damage.

Any previously installed aftermarket tuning equipment must be removed and the vehicle returned to an as

stock condition before installing the supercharger.

Edelbrock periodically releases improved versions of the calibration file found on the supplied handheld

programmer. Check the website to ensure you have the latest version, as described in step #163.

Before beginning installation, use the enclosed checklist to verify that all

components are present in the box then inspect each component for

damage that may have occurred in transit. If any parts are missing or

damaged, contact Edelbrock Technical Support, not your parts distributor.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

91 octane or higher gasoline is required at all times. If your vehicle has been

filled with anything less, it must be run until dry and refilled with 91 or

higher octane gasoline twice prior to installation.

Test Flash Procedure

Use the supplied programmer to flash the ECU and verify

its compatibility.

• Confirm that you have the latest calibration by checking the Edelbrock website (http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/ superchargers/software-tech.shtml ) and entering your serial number in the search field.( Your 4 digit supercharger serial number is written on your kit checklist paperwork, and is also stamped on the front bolt bosses of your supercharger-first 2 digits on RH bolt boss, 2nd 2 digits on LH bolt boss.) Once you have found the latest tune on the site, power on the programmer, press the left arrow and select the Device Info option. Scroll down to Tune Version and compare that number to the one on the site. If they are different, download the new calibration as instructed on the website.

• Put the car into Acc mode, but don’t start the vehicle.

• Connect the supplied PCM cable to the OBD-II connector.

• Use directional pad to highlight Program Vehicle option

and press Select button.

• Use directional pad to highlight Preprogrammed Tune option and press Select button.

• Read disclaimer then press Select to continue.

• Verify ignition is in the ‘Key On’ position but that the

engine is not running then press Select.

• Use directional pad to highlight your vehicle and transmission combination then press Select.

• Use directional pad to highlight Begin Program then press Select.

• Depending on your specific drivetrain configuration, several separate operations may take place during this step.Completion of each operation will cause the progress bar to reset to zero.

DO NOT unplug the programmer until prompted.

• Turn the car off when prompted to do so by the handheld programmer.

• Read parting message from programmer then press Select to continue.

• Unplug the programmer cable from the OBD-II port.

In the rare occurrence that you encounter an error message during the test flash procedure, please refer to pg. 27, titled

Email Edelbrock Your Stock PCM Calibration.
