Ok if you were to replace your fuel filter, would you get a K&N fuel filter or a Edelbrock Fuel Filter? Or would you recommend someone else?

Here's their web site: http://www.edelbrock.com/

They've been a performance aftermarket supplier for a long time. :cheers:

Read about their history on the site and you'll be amazed at how long they've been around.

Edelbrock makes great performance parts but they do not focus alot on corvette parts. They focus on many types of manufactors and have a great number of products for everyone. :jester

I toured their facilities in Torrance, CA. They even have an auto museum with more than one Corvette displayed. The original owner, Vic, passed away some time ago, but the company still has a few family members helping out. Huge place (many buildings) and a great reputation for building go-fast mods/engines. We saw an Edelbrock employee working the Dyno machine while an Edelbrock crate engine (based on a chevy ZZ4) cranked out 400 horses - I had a great time!

I met Vic Jr. at a trade show a few years ago. We had a good chat. Nice guy, and definitely "hands on". A real car enthusiast. :yesnod:
