Professional Products Intake
Couple of questions..I was in a performance shop yesterday and seen they had a polished Frofessional Products intake for 499.00. I have notseen that many folks use their throttle bodies but havent heard of anyone running the intake. How good are they? Does anyone use one or know someone who does?? I have been wanting the BBK SSI intake and saving for it (tests and magazine articles I read had good things to say) but recently read that many people are not liking them after getting it. So I am again researching.
Just some additional info on planned future mods. I will have the motor pulled and at the very least do a basic rebuild (and take care of any thing that may be necessary). I plan on getting heads to install with the intake, of course a bigger throttle body and MAF is also going on at the same time as well. I had planned on doing one piece at a time but figure I wont accomplish anything by putting a nice high flowing TB, MAF and intake on a factory set of heads. In the end and once I save up the money I hope to add a supercharger.So to recap, who knows what about the Pro Poducts intakes and am I correct in my plan to upgrade?? Thanks for any info and help.

RE: Professional Products Intake
A number of the PP intakes are based on old Edelbrock designs. Some of Edelbrock's patents recently ran out, so PP and a few other companies are making their own castings. I liked the RPM manifold with the removable side (for interior polishing). Edelbrock doesn't make it anymore (switched to the RPM II), so I'll probably get the PP version instead.

RE: Professional Products Intake
pp is ok but has alotta casting needs to be smoothed out with a dremel...real rough even new,,,edelbrock has better quality stuff...
i had a 302 dynoed with a rpm air gap and a typhoon cross wind,virtually same intake and the typhoon lost 7 hp just from swapin from the rpm...
