Thank you for purchasing the Edelbrock 6.2L GM Supercharger System for the 2010 Chevy Camaro. The Edelbrock E-
Force 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
Page 2
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.
