In fact Edelbrock has it's own forum for their Pro Flo 4, if you have any issues and for answering any questions you might have.
I am not bagging on Edelbrock, but it offers nothing over my LT1 factory intakes. Other then improved looks.

Where the TPI offers increased torque from 2000 to 4500 rpm. With 40-50 lbft increase possible vs short runner intakes. Like my LT1.

Is the First TPI a good option for a 400/425 hp 383 LT1? Versus a regular TPI. Although I will say a short runner intake would leave to much torque on the plate for a cruiser. For me personally.

For my C10 with 4.88 gears. The TPI would not be ideal. So I will be putting a match ported intake on it with 24X software this fall when my hand heals enough. To which the Edelbrock would not be a bad option conceptvwise.
