Thread: Good intake manifolds or knock offs??

    I am in the market for a single plane intake. During my research I keep seeing the Porfessional Products manifolds and am curious if any one has run one, more specifically run one back to back against a "very similar" design from a reputable company on a motor or flow bench, dyno etc.
    I know you get what you pay for and I've paid enough so I thought maybe I can get by with a different approach this time. Let me know your experiences and perhaps we can discuss the details.

    Just seems as though they are really close. I called the company and they said "well you know there are only so many ways to make a single plane intake..."
    I asked if they did a 3D scan and re-engineer the parts and their answer was "no" So with all the aviable info and choices, what is a guy to do??
    19' hallett 1800lbs (weighed it last week) 489 BBC solid roller 246 .622 single pattern, 9:1 and a 950 HP DP,air gap manifold, no spacer. Thru transom rewarders. Currently pulling a worn out pump to 5400 at 75 on radar, with the water breaking just behind the dash...(don't worry, pump and set up are next)
