The data from people that took a chance with dove products is long and deep with notes on poor quality and poor workmanship. A person does not need to own a product to get an accurate opinion.

Ditto what he said.
I almost took a sledge hammer to my Dove Tunnel Wedge because of casting issues which created an extremely lean air/fuel situation. Diagnosis of that problem was difficult.
When I first saw the visible porosity on the bottom of the runners, I swore it was gonna leak. This intake was shipped to me by a re-seller who told me face-to-face at Ford Carlisle years ago (1998 maybe) and before I saw my intake, he typically returns at least half of the intakes he receives from Dove before he sells one.
If mine appeared to be OK, what did the rejects look like?
Occasionally I'm reminded of a witticism expressed by a co-worker years ago when he said "You can't make chicken salad out of chicken sh**."
For you folks who don't care for the way some of us express our prior experiences or observations with this manufacturer: go ahead, spend your money on the "stuff" coming from Dove. Good luck.
