I don't know about anyone else, but I just got done reading an interview in the new magazine "Auto Enthusiast" and with Vic Edlebrock. And it's as clear as a bell from what Mr. Edelbrock says that he really didn't want to get involved in a supercharging system until Eaton/Magnuson had done all the heavy lifting, engineering wise ? From the interview Edelbrock only was looking at the profit from working on the 'E-force' system. Not really very impressive as far as I'm concerned. He states the manifold required too much work, (Well what does Edelbrock Inc. do, they make intake manifolds the last time I checked ?) When the 1981 to the 1984 crossfire injected engines badly needed a totally new designed manifold. But did Mr. Edelbrock step up with a much better than the original manifold? Hell no. No profit enough for him to get involved then either. Vic Edelbrock does what's good for Mr.Edelbrock period !

Geez...
He's in business for a reason. He's been very successful with his decisions. And he's carrying on a long family tradition of still building his products in the USA.
