You got all that for $60 ? KILLER. Edelbrock base ?? Pretty sure I got $375 for just the base when I sold it used. I know I got more for it than I paid new. I'd be tempted to ebay that puppy.

I thought I got a good deal getting just those runners for $200, nice find. These may not be the strongest choice for an intake but i think it looks better than anything else.

Did you use a gun/knife to get that price!

I like those intakes painted (black) with the Edelbrock ribs polished.

So where do the Edelbrock runners measure against stockers, SLP, Accel, etc?

The best out of the box are TPIS and S&M the SLPs are the best after porting when it comes to flow.

S&M? Are those the ones covered in black leather?

Agree, the TPIS and Arizona Speed and Marine (AS&M) runners are mandrel bent, smooth 1.65" tubing. That's why they flow "well" out of the box. Not as big as the FIRST intake, but the best runner-only option.

The Edelbrock's are the next best. Their casting reduces flow a bit and I believe their ID is about 1.6" (avg).

The SLPs aren't much bigger than stock -- around 1.5". (ID varies becauses of iffy castings where some are better than others.) SLPs have the advantage of significant porting/siamesing due to their merged tube design. And, they are slightly siamesed (1.5") as cast.

Stockers are 1.45" ID and flow the worst.

You guys are funny.
I opened up a new set of gaskets, and will smooth the base runner areas some, it's gonna get my 52mm TB on the front end
