I had the same basic peception, but I'm still currious abot why they make so much 351C stuff. They even have a sheet metal intake for $400. I'm a little surprised that MSD hasn't gone after them for trade dress infringment for make parts that look like the MSD parts.
I suspect that they will either have to evolve into a higher life form, for die out?

Their stuff is absolute garbage. I wouldn't put Pro Comp parts on a
shopping cart. If you search internet forums you'll just read one first-person
horror story after another. It's a rather evil company, that apparently
has no R&D department of their own. They just take other manufacturer's
existing products, ship them to China and then have cheap copies made, poorly.
Dan Jones tested a set of Pro-Comp 351C heads as part of his dyno project.
They were abysmal.....
Your idea has general merit, but it would have to be a quality manufacturer
in order to fly.
