If you need a intake to fit magnum heads it's more like $140 more for the Edelbrock.
In any case the only conclusion that you can make from Vic doing that is he's concerned about losing business to a competitor and is trying to discredit them. If the Crosswind was truely bad then he wouldn't have felt compelled to go on TV.
I wonder if Professional Products scrounged up a bad Air-Gap and went on TV and did the same thing would every one be as negative about Edelbrock?
