There is no "magic" with anything ProForm designs. Everything I've ever experienced from them is bottom dollar junk. Shame we plug that company.

They’re a Michigan-based company. But, after reviewing their catalog, I doubt if any of their products are made here.

Yes, Proform produces the vast majority of Mopar's licensed engine dress up products (air cleaners, valve covers, timing chain covers, etc.) meaning that Proform meets specific criteria that satisfy FCA/Stellantis' requirements. Equally, Proform also produces Mopar's aluminum water pumps.

You'd be VERY hard pressed to find any manufacturers who produce what most would call "affordable" parts here in the US. This is how 440Source can offer a similar catalog as Edelbrock but do so for a fraction of the cost.

Thankfully, Proform's designers and engineers are all found in Michigan. It's mainly the castings and stampings that are overseas. Much of everything else is assembled and finished in the US.

Affordable is an ambiguous term. Companies who produce overseas cloud public perception of what something should cost. Should we be glad 440Source and alike companies offer cheaper products than Edelbrock because they hire other countries in an uneven playing field instead of our local neighbors? Maybe these parts SHOULD cost as much as what it takes to make them domestically.

We run after these cheap prices, then the junk quality drive people away from the hobby. Irony is driving American muscle with chinese junk strapped to it.
