Edelbrock Pro-Flow for FE
« on: July 19, 2023, 01:39:11 PM »
   Hi,
     Anyone using the Edelbrock Pro-Flo for the FE?    It comes on a Victor style intake. I prefer this EFI configuration over the Sniper, FItech or MSD Atomic drop on EFI.   Currently I am using the MSD Atomic EFI, while it works pretty good most of the time the one thing I don't like is the injectors are above the throttle plate. At idle while looking down the throttle body there is a nice mist coming out of the boosters then the mist lands on the closed throttle blades forms into droplets and gets sucked into the  plenum. This seems to be making a dirty idle. A carb has a cleaner idle than this style EFI. FAST EFI appears to have their injectors below the throttle plate which should have a cleaner idle than the other 3.
    While I might go back to a carb, the Pro-Flow is somewhat intriguing. Especially if my wife is driving the car. EFI requiring less driver input makes it a little easier on her.

    Thoughts? Experiences?-----------thanks.

I have a PF4 on my 363" small block.  Not a bad system, but isn't as flexible or tunable as the Holley systems.  It's a bargain if you don't have a manifold already, but likely won't perform measurably better than the throttle-body setups.

Mark, it’s been doing just fine, but see the link above

Hard to beat Holley though, programming is so much nicer

Wow Ross, that was quite a detailed endeavor. Before posting my question, I searched Edelbrock Pro Flow here, and I didn't see that thread didn't come up in the search.  Thanks for the link.
