Edelbrock E-force Owner's thread and FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

yeah nothing to add, they work but they are nasty

I have used Boostane at every track day for years (93 octane up to ~98 for safety buffer). It's a really good formula that I've seen no downside on across two different chassis. It may leave some orange deposits, but they are significantly less then other octane boosters. I have yet to see anyone show an actual problem from these deposits, only that they don't like the orange.

CSG Mike has previously commented on these products and their shortcomings

Until I can obtain a reasonable supply of E85 and buy a good quality Flexfuel kit, I'll stick with name brand higher octane race fuel for those "special runs"

Is barrel E85 (55 gallon drums) a viable option for special drives?

I don't have a truck to pick it up with, no place to store it and don't think it'll fit in the trunk for my 2-5 day road trips

But I could access 5 gal pails of E85 and pack it with me, or have the AFD Petroleum Distributors bring it in and hold it for me, as they do with their SL99.

I currently have 4 fuel "drops" of SL99/260GTX paid for & waiting for me at strategic spots in BC to draw from:
20 Gals 260GTX at a buddy's in Kamloops
10 Gals SL99 at a buddy's in Rock Creek
20 Gals SL99 at the AFD outlet in Deroche
20 Gals SL99 at the AFD outlet in Winfield/Kelowna

If I lived in Edmonton Alberta, the AFD Dist. there has SL99 available at a pump in bulk for much cheaper than the 5 gal pails !

I love this.

What about water/meth injection?

Yes I know.... it's a sickness.
While they may not be as famous as "The Tail of the Dragon", some of the twisty Secondary highways in the Washington/B.C. area provide many scenic "smiles per mile" (or Kilometer up here in Canada, eh ?)

For simplicity sake, I think it might be best to either:

A- Learn to be happy with the cars current power
or
B-Build the block and bolt on a smaller pulley

Is that Really an Option though?

My good Wife hopes so. Me, not so sure.

Can someone tell me what's included in the CSG Spec Edelbrock Remote MAP Kit? They don't have any details or even a picture. Also what does the mount itself look like?
Thanks
