It may vary combo to combo. No argument there, but I consider my R&D guys to be pretty sharp as well. I stood right there and watched the dyno runs. I would have had no issues using the prof products because it eliminates the goofy hose angle, AND it works on LA and Mag. In fact I wanted to use it for that reason, not to mention cost, but at a 30 horse scrub, we decided the edelbrock was worth it. I have no skin in what anyone here does, just sharing my experience. Those that know me know I'm a pretty honest guy. Those that don't, well I guess my words are worth what ya paid for them :p lol
