Re: Slow Progress is better than No Progress.

I noticed that Edelbrock lowered the price for the Pro-Flo 4 EFI by roughly 10% since I ordered mine in September. I called Edelbrock and the sales guy said, "no we've raised the price" to which I responded that's not what your web site says, so he said then we'll honor that price but we don't refund the difference on existing orders.

I ordered from a reseller and wondering whether it pays to cancel my order and place a new one at the lower price. Apparently the model with the entry level injector is in stock, and the medium and large injectors are being produced and will be shipping in a few weeks. Famous last words.

Thanks for the update, Nick...back in April (before they pushed my back order to August), Edelbrock refunded me $115 because they are no longer offering the hand held Android device (the app now works for Apple products too)...so that might be why the price shows lower now? I haven't looked it up to see what they are now charging for my application...but I'll be thrilled if the back order is ahead of schedule (I purchased the "medium" injectors)!

Hey Nick...my August back order date has come and gone...and I haven't been notified by email of a new shipping date, but on the Edelbrock site, they show the end of September for new orders??? Did you get your's or any update? Calling is for the most part useless...and if Edelbrock hadn't moved out of Torrance, I would have been going there in person...a lot! I've met a guy at our local car show that has an "in" with Edelbrock, so I might hunt him down to see if he knows anything???

Woody,

Back in early June, I cancelled my order for the Pro-Flo 4 with the large injectors and re-ordered the medium sized ones part #35770 (also availing myself of the $300 lower price). Subsequently, I noticed that Summit had 10+ in stock in July (a few weeks later it showed sold out with a September restock date). A few weeks ago Summit again showed 10+ in stock. Then, at the end of August Edelbrock's web site indicated #35770 was in stock. So I reached out to my reseller on August 26, who responded as follows: "I heard back and this is in the warehouse and just getting unpackaged from a shipment so it can go out. We should have tracking in the next 1 - 1 1/2 weeks. Once we've got that, we'll send it over!"

As of right now, it's been 1.5 weeks and no tracking has been provided. I will follow-up to get another update and let you know. Supply chains are still messed up, but it seems we are getting closer!

Regards,
Nick

Thanks for the update Nick...I too am getting the middle sized injectors, but mine is for a big block (#35830). I ordered through Summit...and both Summit and Edelbrock are now showing they're available at the end of September. It's frustrating getting put off so many times, but like you said...things are still messed-up...and I'm not willing to cancel my order so I guess I have to accept that they would send it to me if they could! Thanks again...and let me know if you get it and I'll do the same!

No worries Greg...I'm just glad to know that you're still out there working through your Burb's issues...and I don't consider your's or anybody's input as hijacking? We all learn from what others are going through!
