Re: Another Edelbrock EFI Question
I just got off the phone with Edelbrock Tech. I asked them why they didn't keep the throttle body actuator on the driver's side of the Pro-Flo 4 XT, like they did on the Pro-Flo 4.
Technical Answer:
"I don't know."
Again, I got a referral to LOKAR (and their cobbled up solution) or "you will just have to put something together on your own."
I want to pull the trigger on the Pro-Flo 4 XT but $2,000+ for an Edelbrock Manifold that doesn't even use OEM throttle body linkage?!
With my 700r4 trans, the throttle body linkage plays a critical role and if it's not dead nuts on (tension wise), you risk destroying your $4,000 transmission.
So now I have to run some cobbled up solution, from the firewall, around the back of the Pro-Flo 4 XT, bend it again and run it up to the front of the intake to the throttle body ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. . . and all this is supposed to maintain the constant tension the 700r4 requires.
This is how Edelbrock creates an EFI Solution. . . by making more problems you need to solve, than you started with? Hell, the Ford version has drivers side throttle body connections, so I know it could have been done. Talk about missing the mark.
Rant over. Looking for a different EFI Solution.
