Edelbrock's ProFlo fuel injection system, why not so popular among C4 crowd ?

I Have a friend who owns a 89 TPI Camaro, i love TPI
i love my Super Ram and everything about TPI, yesterday we were talking about it and he told me he is sick of it and all the wires and injectors and he likes carbed cars better ,he is strongly considering and "upgrade" from TPI to this ProFlo system,he is telling me all the gains and power that he is supposedly going to pick up with this intake/injection , i really have no idea i did a research to find out its not so popular at all , plus he says they are supercharger-ready ,it sounds like they made them to easily fit a supercharger or something.
Any of you guys has messed around with this Pro Flo intake ???

Thanks !

Because we already have a computer and wiring.
If you want a single plane style intake you just buy a Victor E intake

( or weld injector bungs into any intake as many have done )
and use all your stock control gear.
Some use a Pro Flow style 4bbl TB ; some run a right angle hat that allows use of stock style TB



Pro Flow has injectors and a wiring harness so what is the difference?

i meant remove and replace the TPI with the runners,plenum gaskets ...and all of it

But not unexpected
Tested against a HSR ( or Miniram ) that works in a similar rev range would have been better comparison

Check out

to see comparison of intake operating ranges
Look at were the HP drops off on the graphs for each style intake

Given the ProFlow XT price is similar to a HSR ; a HSR would be a better ( cheaper ) choice because it doesn't require a special TB because it uses a stock style TB
