Lew Shaw Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I got a wild hair and decided to install an Edelbrock E-Force supercharger on my 2010 Grand Sport Convertible at home in my garage. Edelbrock said it takes 10 hours for the install. At the same time, I was adding a DeWitts radiator and Z06 exhaust. Well, after my 10 hours was up, I had the front bumper cover almost off! I mentioned this at the Geezer lunch on Tuesday at the Black Bear Restaurant and two slightly demented old guys volunteered to help. Well, the E-Force is in and so is the radiator and exhaust. It started right up, no drips, no runs, no errors, thanks to the long hours and hard work of JL's Mistress (I call him "John") and HOXOH (I call him "Tom"). What Edelbrock didn't tell me is that the intercooler reservoir mounts in a location that prevents me from removing my battery without draining and removing the tank. So, I have decided to relocate my battery to the trunk like a Z06 and I told my Geezer helpers about that before they left the garage. Unfortunately, they both seem to be having phone problems and I can't get through to them to schedule a work date! Maybe it would help if some of you ACE members would show up at the Black Bear at 1:00pm on Tuesday and give them a big pat on the back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikey Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I watched part of this install and someone should have taken pictures with index finger pointing of various "points of interest". Also "grasshopper", keep your posts short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 YAY for the ACE geezers, who have probably forgotten more about cars than a lot of us have even learned yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest badbobs95 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I think I'll have John and Tom do the same to my car. I just need them to pay for everything for me. After all, I already have the DeWitts radiator and the exhaust completed so it won't cost them all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOXXOH Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 This is the end of the project need to find the photos for beginning and middle... John, when you point, you need your finger a little farther away from the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
