Professional products' intake reviews

[busteed]

Came across an add for Professional Products Power + plus crosswind intake manifold.  Anyone ever used one?  Are these any good?  It looks like a knock off, of a edelbrock air gap.  I suppose you get what you pay for, or lack of?  Any suggestons, let me know.

They could have at least come up with a better name for their product.  Professional Products Plus Crosswind Intake?  Yikes.  I'll stick with Weiand or Holley, although if the Professional Products Plus Crosswind Intake Dual Plane Manifold puts out, then I'm game...

They are a cheaper alternative when you have a Magnum headed engine but I can't tell you about quality. They are an Eddy air gap knock off.

I've had a couple of professional products parts ... a distributor and a harmonic balancer ... and I'm considering a set of roller rocker arms (the roller rockers and harmonic balancers that 440source sells are professional products)... they all seem to be knock-offs of some other brand, but honestly so far they seem to work great.  The distributor I had I ended up taking out when I was working on ignition trouble, but it turned out the problem wasn't the distributor.  I put it back in and tested it later, it's actually still working fine, but I can't bring myself to take off the MSD distributor now, so it sits in a box...  But like I said, through no fault of its own; it worked fine.

Having said that, I know nothing about their intakes.  What I think is probably the best speed shop in my local area just picked up LS-1 intakes from them and started talking about how surprisingly good they are for the price.  They're selling them of course, so there's some level of caution suggested in taking their word for it, but I've yet to see them push a crappy product myself, so to me that says a lot...

Sounds like they might be a 'really good knockoff' company

my machine shop sells these products for those who want a cheaper alternative.  they have no issues with their products at all.  neither do i, i have a prof. products balancer on my 440 right now.
