I totally agree with you on the FEEL of the car. The increase in torque is absolutely huge and extremely noticeable, and comes on strong at light throttle application too. What has me baffled with this Edelbrock kit thus far is the very few track times I've uncovered in searching. Edelbrock says pretty much a 12 flat but NEVER mentions the MPH but then shows that pathetic 116 mph pass.
Then, there's a guy on YouTube that appears to be from Nevada, just put an Eforce on his '16 M6 SS and ran 12.2 @ 117. I asked him what the DA was and he never replied. Then, I see this video today where a CAI/catback SS nearly keeps pace with an Edelbrock '16 SS....

.....and it makes me think, good Lord could the E-force kit on our cars with the Edelbrock canned tune really only be good for 116-118 trap speeds? That's hardly better than stock and does NOT jive with 540+ whp/wtq. Guess I'm just a little confused at how my car feels really fast, but nobody else so far seems to be having decent track results. If I was hearing of 12.2 at 124 mph on a 2.1 sec 60' time, I would feel way better than this 117 mph and a near stock Camaro SS nearly keeping up with an E-force car.

I think we have the proper hardware. Is the Edelbrock canned tune THAT dialed back when at WOT, and maybe more agressive during part throttle driving making it feel really fast? Maybe I just need to go to the track soon and see how mine does. Again, I'm most curious of the trap speed. I already know I won't hook well on my street tires.
