Re: Help a noob pick intake manifold & headers

[QUOTE=Marv D;4793098]Summit doesn't 'make' anything,, Surgi gets the low bid from whatever offshore, patent infringing POS that will make a clone of a 'real' part,,, and put two nickles in his pocket. The guy is a shrewd business man, I'll give him that. But my money will go for the USA made part if possible (the $100 you save worth costing someone their job???)



I 2nd that! It cost a couple extra bucks but I got the Edelbrock Performer on the 396. It runs great, doesn't leak and is really well made. The engine pulls harder than a 396 should and best of all...It has a BIG stamp that says "MADE IN USA" that I can see everytime I open the hood. I know it's apples to oranges but one thing applies to both - usually you get what you pay for.
