Default sponsers step up!

There are many posts where people ask about the pro Flo intake. Not many independent tests because you have to mod the cowl and lose the wipers to them them in 4th Gen. That understandable. What really ticks me off is that in the proflo threads a sponsor will jump in and basically will say " these proflo intakes suck *** and make horrible power below 5-6k, buy the 1500 fast set up from me". I swear FAST must whole sale their intake for 300 bucks to sponsers the way they cram it down our throats.

I've even pm'd the sponsers asking for the results and dyno sheets they have on the proflo and I just get ignored.

So are any of the sponsers actually going to step up and provide proof of their claims that's the proflo sucks? I'd call them out but I'm on my phone.

Just for the record, I'm not part of edlebrock nor do I even own any of their products. Just another car guy who wants to see claims backed up by proven results.

Ive done the testing personally myself, your description is correct. its brutal below 5500, down 30-40 lb*ft. I dont see why you question it, its a cast version of a sheet metal intake.....

Negative. I guess I'll just try it out myself and not share results. I think I'm going to go with the pro flo as I plan to go forced induction anyway but we will see

Whats the point coming on here bitching about something like this? Buy it and use it since your all about it. No need to get mad ect. at sponsors or even the person that did post because they are not throwing graphs up for you.

Either listen to some people that tested it and take there word or just buy one/ use it yourself.

Because sponsors can't back up there claims. What's there to hide with posting up some graphs? Not everyone on tech lives and dies by what a certain sponsor says or what the current flavor of the week is.
