In this video series, V8TV is upgrading a 1969 Camaro SS 396 for better performance using an Edelbrock Top End Kit consisting of E-Street Heads, a RPM intake manifold, a mild street camshaft, and the required hardware and gaskets to put it all together. They are also adding a Holley Street Avenger Aluminum 670 carburetor for fuel, and an MSD Digital E-Curve distributor for spark. The Camaro will breathe better with a dual MagnaFlow stainless exhaust system, and it will run smoothly on Royal Purple Break-In Oil and Max Gear transmission oil. They’re also adding a Centerforce clutch for more grab. Under the car, they are detailing the subframe and suspension with Eastwood Underhood Black paint, and installing Global West Del-A-Lum bushings up front. A Baer Track disc brake kit is going on for better stopping power, and a Chassis Engineering front sway bar will help this car corer better.

TORRANCE, CA (March 17, 2011) – Edelbrock is excited to announce the release of their E-Force Supercharger system for 2011 Ford Mustangs equipped with a 5.0L 4V engine (#1588). Based in large part on the existing supercharger for 2005-10 Mustangs, this new kit will allow the 2011 Mustang to produce 559 horsepower and 503 ft-lbs. of torque with low boost. This design is engineered and manufactured by Edelbrock and features an Eaton® Twin Vortices Series (TVS®) 2300 GEN VI rotor assembly – the same internals used on the new Corvette ZR-1.
The supercharger assembly is integrated into Edelbrock’s unique intake manifold for a truly seamless design with minimal components. The intake features 15″ long runners for maximum low-end torque and an integrated bypass valve that helps reduce parasitic loss under light throttle, which improves mileage potential. Keeping the air cool is a 110 square inch, high capacity, air to water intercooler – the largest of its kind available on the market today – and a full face low temp heat exchanger. It has been designed to meet 50-State emissions and work with all OEM emissions equipment (E.O. Number D-215-77).
This complete Edelbrock E-Force supercharger kit includes everything you need to bolt it on under the hood of a 2011 Mustang GT, including supercharger/manifold assembly, fuel injectors, air-to-water intercooler and a handheld flash programmer to properly tune the factory ECU for the added power. Edelbrock offers 3 levels of optional powertrain warranty terms – including 3-Year/36,000 mile and 5-Year/60,000 mile, offering up to $19,000 of coverage, for peace of mind when installing on a brand new car.
Edelbrock also offers a competition version of this system (#1589). Edelbrock E-Force Competition Supercharger systems are based off of our popular street systems, but are pared down to the essential components that a racer needs, without the extras that experienced racers prefer to customize for their own competitive advantage. They include the essential supercharger package components with selectable options based on your purpose built needs – from our Competition Air Intake Systems to fuel injectors, pulleys and much more.

Edelbrock Performance Lubricants - We make Choosing the Right Lubrication EZ
So you walk into your local parts store and see a wall of engine oils. You see the traditional brands that have been around for years. You see the synthetics. You see the additives. But your standing there scratching your head thinking, “what is the best oil for my engine?”. With Edelbrock Performance lubricants, we take the guesswork out of choosing the right oil for maximum performance and long engine life.
Quick lesson – Zinc dialkyl-dithios-phosphate (also known as ZDDP) is a chemical combination of phosphorus and zinc. Phosphorus seeks out high friction areas inside your motor, and carries the extra lubrication provided by the zinc to these high friction components. ZDDP was essential for proper wear-in of high-friction components, like flat tappet hydraulic camshafts. Well since most, if not all engines produced by new vehicle manufacturers are equipped with roller camshafts, your standard spec oils have been stripped of ZDDP – putting your performance engine at risk. Edelbrock Performance Lubricants puts the ZDDP back into the oil for proper lubrication of high performance engine components. With five products to meet the needs of todays’ hot rodder, Edelbrock makes it easy to select the right oil for your engine.

| Cam failure as a result of improper break-in lubrication. Don’t replace your cam twice. |
For Break-in: critical to any new motor, Edelbrock has two products to choose from to ensure you have the right additives essential for proper break-in lubrication.
#1070 – Premium SAE 30 Zinc Enhanced break-in oil (1-qt) (Blue/Red bottle) $7.95/qt
Why choose #1070? Simply pour in the recommded amount for a worry free break-in.
#1074 – High Performance Zinc additive (treats up to 6-qts) $13.95/bottle
Why choose #1074? If you’re stubborn and stuck on a brand, simply pour in one bottle of zinc additive with your conventional oil to put the good stuff back in the oil.
For Classic Performance & Racing: The right oil for your street rod, muscle car, truck/jeep, or racecar, is avaialble in two premium products; a high performance 10w40 and high performance synthetic 10w40.
#1073 – Premium High Performance 10w40 zinc enhanced formula (Blue/Red bottle) $7.95/qt
Why choose #1073? At a slightly lower cost than it’s synthetic sibling, this oil is perfect for the casual hot rodder who will hit the road for 5,000 mile or less in a year.
#1072 – High Performance Synthetic 10w40 zinc enhanced formula (Yellow/Red bottle) $9.95/qt
Why choose #1072? You can call it overkill, but the biggest advantage is service change intervals (7,500 miles +). The synthetic base stock is designed with high heat thermal resistance for long life and maximum anti-wear protection.
For Modern Performance Vehicles: Got a late model performance vehicle? Whether it’s a modern Muscle car like the Chevrolet Camaro or a high performance Import like the Nissan 370Z, Edelbrock 5w30 Cat-Safe formula is a great choice.
#1071 – High Performance Synthetic with Cat-Safe formula (Green/Red bottle) $8.95/qt
Why choose #1071? This high performance Cat-Safe synthetic is engineered for today’s high performance vehicles. It protects your engine and your vehicles catalyst and oxygen sensors, ensuring the vehicle’s emissions and on-board diagnostics are not compromised by phosphorus additives.
