Anyone missing parts from your Edelbrock kit? I set aside this weekend to do my install. I checked my parts list at the beginning of the book as suggested in the instructions, all good... then I get to the part where you install the tube that holds the MAF sensor and there are no couplers! I check the parts list, sure enough not there! WTF? The hand checked off list included with the kit shows checks next to couplers, but they are not in the parts list at the beginning of the instructions... nor in my kit. Bummed!!
The other hang up I found was the included MAF sensor bolts, which are M4x10mm are wayyyy too long. I went to the hardware store and fitted some M4x6mm and they are just right, any longer would not work(I tried 8mm, didn't fit). I hope Edelbrock is open tomorrow so I can get the parts ASAP.... |

I'd get 24-25 mpg when I drove conservatively; lately it's been 20-21 mpg.

A minor niggle to an otherwise awesome kit I guess. |

I just realized the separate parts check list included with the instruction book that looks like someone manually checked off is only a print out, it's not actually a hand checked list... nice, that explains how they missed something...
Turns out you can't get the parts from Edelbrock directly, you have to go through your retailer, just adds more time to get this resolved, meanwhile I'm without a car and it's in pieces. To all future owners, check every part in the actual step by step instructions against what you have first, their check list is incomplete. This will save you the hassle I'm going through right now... |

What's the verdict on custom tunes from say moto east or delicious compared to the CARB tune? I've seen the delicious dyno showing ~10hp/10lbft increases throughout but that's something I would not notice (didn't even notice anything going to e85 from CA 91oct). Aside from that, does the car just drive "better"?
Read back a few pages about surging at light throttle, woudl that be something a custom tune would address? The answer to custom tunes will help me decide where I'll be getting my kit from. It would be easier if there were just one helpful vendor, but they're all pretty cool haha |

If you didn't notice E85 vs CA 91... I'm not sure you'd notice the SC either... If you already have a Flex Fuel kit, you definitely want to get a Delicious tune with your kit. |

What are people's general criteria for judging the reliability of this kit?
I know there are a good number of folks running boost(turbo and SC) so within a reasonable power level(~300hp it seems) the stock engine is alright. Tune is obviously a MAJOR factor, so let's assume the Edelbrock CARB tune or a utility-tweaked tune from a reputable tuner like Delicious. Would most of you say after maybe 20-30 people have logged 5-10k miles over 6 months-1 year we would have a good idea of the failure rate of these systems(all parts included)? I would also hope those same 20-30 people have some track days on the systems to truly validate track durability as well. |

Getting my car back tomorrow with headers + FF kit + Delicious tune. I am pretty sure I will feel the diff. And just to keep it on topic - the plan is to go Edelbrock in future too (which will obviously mean another Delicious tune as I don't need the CARB tune + will have the FF kit already )
