Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger System for

Installation Instructions

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Edelbrock 6.2L GM Supercharger System for the 2010-13 Chevy Camaro. The Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger System for the 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

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

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 (800-416-8628), not your parts distributor.

WARNING: Installation of this supercharger will result in a significant change to the

performance characteristics of your vehicle. It is highly recommended that you take some time to familiarize yourself with the added power, and how it is delivered, in a controlled environment. Take extra care on wet and slippery roads, as the rear tires will be more likely to lose traction, with the added power. It is never recommended to turn off your vehicles traction control system.

Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void all

manufacture’s standard warranties and may result in poor performance and engine or vehicle

damage.

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 supplemental warranty, it is necessary to have this system installed by a Certified ASE Technician at a licensed business, GM Dealership, or an Authorized Edelbrock Installer. Failure to do so will void and/or disqualify any and all optional supplemental warranties offered with this system. Please contact the Edelbrock Technical Support department if you have any questions regarding this system and/or how your installer of choice will affect any warranty coverage for which your vehicle may qualify. Please see warranty contract for all details and restrictions.

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

to an as stock condition before installing the supercharger.

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: OBDII programmers, MAF sensors, adapters 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.

Test Flash Procedure

Use the supplied programmer to flash the ECU and verify

its compatibility.

• Original Equipment Manufacturers often release updates to the computer programming for your vehicle. Edelbrock highly recommends that you verify, with your new car dealer, that your vehicle is equipped with the latest software version from your vehicle manufacturer, before attempting to load the Edelbrock tune.”

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
