I have 10 years in sales for the mold and die market and I can tell you quite often this will be the case where simular products are made simular but not exact by different companies with permission to do so baised on a percentage profit basis. Edelbrock makes top notch products for the most part yes..but mine did strip out, and my BBK TB did have a seal leak at the lower butterfly pivot causing vac problems with my idle.

DMAN302 said:Same intake..save your money and get the typhoon ported and custom painted..flow is nearly as good as the RPM and better than the performer, I have the polished typhoon upper and lower, and had the performer RPM in its place prior to that...if you want to talk quality issues you should know I had to remove my Edelbrock because holes were stripped out 10ft torque applied was too much..hhmmm...typhoon didn't strip out and looks FANTASTIC. And don't throw the china thing out there cause if you look at GM Ford and Chrysler..they farm out more work to china than anyother automaker.

Just get yourself a Performer upper and bolt it to the Typhoon lower.91StangLX said:I have the intake ported and polished and do not get me wrong I really like the Typhoon. The problem I have is the RPM range of the intake is to high for my gears and convertor. I need to bring my power band back down into the 2500 range. My cam is done at about 5800 RPM and the Typhoon dies out at 6500 where the Performer would top out at 5500...
millhouse said:I wouldnt assume they got any permission from edlebrock. It happens quite often that companies will steal others designs. Just look at upr products.They copy everybody! Even took a bunch of my ideas and are making money off them. Even using a machine shop and welder that I told them about!
Anyway, the Typhoon intake was origionally made by MAC. MAC copied Edelbrock and was getting heat from them so MAC sold the molds and everything to Professional Products. Anything from MAC is!
