Supercharger Installation
NOTE: It is very important to perform the PCM flashing
procedure prior to starting this installation. This will
prevent any major installation delays due to non-compatible
calibration files.
In the rare occurrence that you encounter an error message
during the PCM flashing procedure, please refer to Page 28,
titled E-mail Edelbrock Your Stock PCM Calibration.
WARNING: Battery must be sufficiently charged before
starting the PCM flashing procedure.
Only begin the PCM flashing procedure when you are
ready to install the supercharger. Once the PCM is
flashed, DO NOT START the engine until the installation
of the E-Force supercharger is complete.
1. Before starting the flash procedure, check the
Edelbrock website at:
(http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/mc/
superchargers/support.shtml)
to confirm that you have the latest calibration file. Once
you have found the latest calibration file on the website,
power on the programmer. Press the left arrow and select
the “Device Info” option. Scroll down to “Tune Version”
and compare the tune number to the one on the website.
If they are different, download the new calibration file with
the supplied USB cable.
2. Put the car into ACC mode, but don’t start the vehicle.
3. Connect the supplied PCM cable on the handheld
programmer to the OBD-II connector located below the
steering wheel, and to the left of your knee.
4. Use the directional pad to highlight the Program
Vehicle option and press the Select button.
5. Use the directional pad to highlight the Pre-programmed
Tune option and press the Select button.
6. Read the disclaimer then press Select to continue.
7. Verify that the ignition is in the ‘Key On’ position and
that the engine is not running, then press Select.
8. Use the directional pad to highlight your vehicle and
transmission combination then press Select.
9. Use the directional pad to highlight the Begin Program
option then press Select.
10. Depending on your specific drivetrain configuration,
several separate operations may take place during this
step. Completion of each operation will cause the progress
bar to reset to zero.
11. DO NOT unplug the programmer until prompted.
12. Turn the vehicle off when prompted to do so by the
handheld programmer.
13. Read the parting message from programmer then
press Select to continue.
14. Unplug the programmer cable from the OBD-II port.
This concludes the PCM flashing procedure. DO NOT start
the engine until the supercharger installation is complete.
15. Open trunk and lift trunk liner to access plastic hold
down. Unscrew plastic hold down then remove air
compressor and foam support.

battery terminal.
