Re: Pro-Flo XT on a firebird?

also hoping to find out about this. Some internet searching and it seems like people have got it to fit under a stock C4 hood so I think there's hope.

Re: Pro-Flo XT on a firebird?

I cant believe no one has tried seeing if this fits yet!! seeing how TPI parts are not being made anymore we need an affordable manifold that fits and makes some good power
I found this comparison to a Super ram
looks like Pro-Flow is taller by a smidge , can anyone see if SR has any more room under hood?

Re: Pro-Flo XT on a firebird?

interesting; looks like if there is an issue it will be with the throttle body. Can't seem to find the post but a member had some interference under a trans am hood (later vented type) but apparently this was because of poly engine mounts.

Also a guy on youtube named zz3astro (I believe he's on here aswell) that has/ had a pro flo in his Iroc but not sure if he experienced any interference

Not a great comparison. The sr has a oil try on it raising it up in the image.

True, that's obvious, at least I noticed. I did find this thread: Proflow- Superram showdown

I did read this in the article: "The Pro-Flo XT is 9.05 inches high at the tallest point-the throttle body flange-making it taller than the SuperRam."
Is S/R as tall as stock TPI? and how much room is available I am not putting some silly A/M hood on to fit an intake
So the question begs- is it too tall?

Edit: I also found this a corvette forum member posted: "The SuperRam has a height of 9 3/8" from the bottom of the intake to the top of hte plenum- thus it should fit fine- when you measure, remember that its 9 3/8" even at the front of the unit

Hmm

I think the sr and stock tpi are the same height. I took this picture awhile back to show the comparison.

Re: Pro-Flo XT on a firebird?

So who has a S/R equipped Firebird that can check for hood clearance?

So i went to Edlebrocks website and found this info:

Front Maximum Height9.200 in

AND
Availability NoteDiscontinued

So maybe I need to find one before they're gone
