Remember, I am not really saying that there is a significant difference between a good dual plane like the air gap and a good low rise single plane. I'm just saying for some, they might be surprised that the negatives are negligible, and the positives are tangible.
unfortunately I havent done much with my Aces unit yet.. the 406 and new trans is still sitting next to the car and my focus right now it getting an area cleared for a new hunting cabin this spring. But I still hope to make some progress on this.
I will likely go with the killshot 2 though as its reported to have a number of advantages to the standard killshot.

There was a long thread on one of the hot rod forums where reps from Holley more or less shared there was a flaw in the the design layout of the throttle body base which cause poor signal strength on dual plane intakes without an open spacer. I thought they were going to address it with the sniper 2 but not sure if this was done or not.

I have proflow 4.. the first map the wizard installed, my car ran like crap, after about 500 miles I changed the map, it was better, but after putting about 400 miles I still didn't think it was right, I changed to the next map recently and finally like it alot already..
Its not complicated, you can use phone or tablet to make changes..I got the Edelbrock sump pump to go with, the setup is pricey but it's not throttle body injected it's sequential..
