2018 Edelbrock Stage 2 parts are here!

doesn't the eforce come with injector rail covers?

Yes, I have them in their box still, didn't feel like putting them on. They are nice cast aluminum covers that say Supercharged on them, I just never got around to putting them on so they're still in their box

I actually don't even mind how it looks with out those covers

Not to hijack, but since we mentioned the covers: I’ve found they create an echo chamber for the injectors that drives me crazy. I ended up buying a dynamat hood liner and putting 3-4 layers inside the covers to calm the injector tick down. Works really well, for those guys reading with the Edelbrock kit.

Good to know. I was hoping the covers were to suppress that noise. so I guess i will have to do that when i buy mine.

Didn't know this, but I don't run them, although, I do hear the injectors firing, but that's expected since the OE rails had foam covers on them to prevent this, most aftermarket rails don't use those things

I have the 2300 kit and yes you can hear the injectors quite loudly on idle and low revs. will be trying the dynamat myself.

Nice. Do they offer any upgrades that keep the warranty? The warranty tune is super conservative. Any help to bring up performance would be awesome. It's not overly impressive against e85 cars in stock form. I plan on hitting up a local dyno to see where improvements can be made later on.

Are you on 91 or 93 octane

91 is the tune in it. I run 93 as much as I can... but honestly it's easier to find e85 here than 93.

I think that’s the big difference 91 to 93 makes a difference. Ill be using the 93 tune hopefully get car back tomorrow

@Edelbrock Tech might know more about whether they offer anything to upgrade too that allows you to keep their warranty.

On a side note, I got the fuel system installed on the car over the weekend

Awesome build OP. Great supercharger and mods.
Congrats.

Very nice!
I like the fact that the radium pump runs what looks like a bucket. I assume this should reduce fuel surge at low levels?

Correct, they designed it to sit damn near flush against the floor of the tank so it always has access to fuel and the bucket means the pumps will stay fed even when low on fuel. There is a large 1" check ball on the other side that is not visible in the pics I posted.

Here is a pic from radium s its showing how it sits in the tank

Despite the fact that e85 isn’t readily available to me, I had a Fore system ready to go. Decided against it because having to run half a tank at all times on a daily is just ridiculous.
Your Radium setup would be perfect. Nice one!

I have e85 available within 3 miles of me, but I also wanted to try this hat bc of the same concern you mentioned. I have a 5 gallon jug full of fuel in the trunk right and and plan to run this tank to empty to see just how low it will let me go and still run. This way I know when I should be filling up.
