Cool, thanks guys! I just got back from a electrical store with $80 worth of various gauges of wiring...
It was the 10 feet of 1 gauge wire that really did it, $2 a foot, ouch!

I'll look for either the PTFE or polyethylene tonight.

There's actually a few reasons, but first, I had a Vic Jr for about 2-3 years on my last truck, I like it, it performed well and IMO looked good. One thing I didn't like about it, looked very messey when outfitted with all the fuel lines, reference lines and wiring harness.
When I saw the Pro-flo coming out I immediately though ergonomically it was a better design, meaning there isn't a need to buy a 90 degree elbow, spacer and 90mm adapter plate like was necessary with the Vic Jr. The design of the Pro-flo encompassed those things already. It also allowed for alot more dead space underneath to hide fuel lines, harness lines and vacuum lines. In addition the Pro-flow has 5-4 ports built in that can be used for different accessories or references, something the Vic Jr didn't allow for unless you buy a spacer that fits on top of it that could have a few reference ports. I do like that aspect of the Pro-flo alot. There's still two ports I have left untouched that I just have plugged for right now. There is a port in the very back that is pretty big that I saw someone insert a nitrous tube in, went all the way forward to the TB and had holes drilled in the tube to spray directly into each runner, thought that was kinda neat.
And ascetically I liked it alot better, and it came in black.
