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.

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.
