Default Super ram and Edelbrock base?

Will it work with Edelbrock's high flow base?

From what I have always heard and read on here, the 2 bases are the same.. I have even heard that the same casting number is on both bases...WW

thanks. I have large runners and ported plenum but if I ever happen on a Super Ram it's nice to know it will fit.

Will the gain over slp runners and ported plenum be worth the cost of one?

Yes , in my opinion the Super ram is one of the best street intakes ever made, not bad at the strip either.They produce a whole bunch of torque.... Most Super rams come with the plenum and base as a set, I have seen a few sold seperatly, but most of the time they are together...If you can find one they usually go for about $1,000 or more if in decent shape....WW

Yes, I had large tube runners and ported plenum and when I switched to the super ram I picked up 40 rwhp with that being the only change. FYI it already had the high flow base.
