Edelbrock Performance Parts

Edelbrock Performance Parts

Edelbrock is one of the most storied names in American performance parts, founded in 1938 and now part of the Edelbrock Group with over 130 years of combined brand heritage, producing intake manifolds, carburetors, camshafts, cylinder heads, superchargers, and complete crate engines for domestic V8 and performance applications. The brand's Victor Jr. and RPM Air-Gap intake manifolds remain benchmarks for small block and big block Chevy, Ford, and Mopar V8 performance, while the E-Force supercharger system has become a preferred positive-displacement blower option for Mustang, Camaro, and Corvette builds that demand both power and factory-fit quality. Edelbrock's reach extends from restoration-correct carburetors for classic muscle cars to modern EFI fuel injection systems and fully assembled crate engines that provide a reliable, matched-component solution for engine replacements and hot rod builds. Builders and restorers across generations choose Edelbrock because its catalog spans nearly every domestic V8 platform that has mattered in American performance history.

Popular Upgrades

Edelbrock's most popular products include the Performer RPM intake manifold series for small block Chevy, Ford, and Chrysler applications, the E-Force positive displacement supercharger kits for late-model Mustang GT, Camaro SS, and Corvette, Edelbrock 1400 and 1406 600 and 650 cfm carburetors for classic builds requiring period-correct carbureted fuel delivery, and the Victor series aluminum cylinder heads for maximum-effort naturally aspirated V8 builds. Edelbrock camshafts and lifter kits provide matched valve train solutions for builds that pair their intake and head upgrades with a complementary cam profile, and Edelbrock's Thunder Series AVS2 carburetors are popular as a modernized carb with an annular booster and vacuum secondaries suited to mild street builds.

Performance and Handling

An Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap intake manifold on a small block Chevy typically produces 10 to 20 horsepower at the wheels compared to a factory cast-iron unit when paired with matching heads and a compatible camshaft, with gains concentrated in the 2500 to 6500 rpm range that benefits street driving and road course use most. The E-Force supercharger system delivers 200 or more horsepower over factory output on late-model Coyote and LS platform engines while retaining air conditioning, power steering, and factory underhood routing. Edelbrock cylinder head upgrades on a small block Chevy or Ford improve port flow velocity, allowing better combustion efficiency and more complete exhaust scavenging that supports both power and idle quality simultaneously.

What Edelbrock carburetor should I use for a street small block Chevy?

For a mild to moderate 350 or 383 small block Chevy street build, the Edelbrock 1406 650 cfm carburetor with electric choke is the most popular choice because it provides adequate flow for up to 450 horsepower while remaining streetable at cold start with the automatic choke function. The 1407 750 cfm unit is appropriate for larger displacement builds or high-compression 383 and 406 stroker combinations that run at higher rpm regularly. Pair either carburetor with an Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap or Performer RPM intake manifold for the most complete Edelbrock top-end combination on a SBC street engine.

Does the Edelbrock E-Force require a tune?

Yes, the Edelbrock E-Force supercharger system is engineered to work with a calibration provided by Edelbrock or an authorized tuner, and the kit typically includes an ECU calibration file that replaces the factory tune to properly manage the increased airflow and boost pressure. Installing the E-Force without recalibrating the ECU will result in lean fuel delivery and potential engine damage on modern returnless fuel systems. Edelbrock recommends pairing the E-Force with their included calibration as the minimum acceptable installation, with a custom dyno tune recommended for builds that include additional modifications.

Why These Parts Fit Right

Edelbrock products are listed by engine family, displacement, carburetor flange type, and application year to ensure correct intake, head, cam, and supercharger fitment across the full catalog. E-Force kits include vehicle-specific mounting hardware and calibration files matched to the exact model year and engine combination. Fast shipping and a knowledgeable support team are ready to assist with any Edelbrock combination question.
