Post HELP! Intake and Runners.................

I am looking for an aftermarket intake and runners at a decent price.....but holy s**t I sure havent been able to find ANY deals. Any one out there found any steals on either of these. Anyone with Edelbrocks runners and or TPIS Big Mouth Intake..... are you happy with their performance?????? Should I stick with Edelbrock-Edelbrock or TPIS-TPIS intake runner-combo to it company matched? Would it perform better this way? Any info would be appreciated.......

Here's a link to a cheap Accel intake. http://63.99.108.154/ubb/ultimatebb....c;f=7;t=000064

Otherwise, the Edelbrock base and TPIS Big Mouth are essentailly the same piece. The Edelbrock is cheaper. Cheapest runners are the SLPs. The AS&M are supposede to be the best, but they cost like they are gold plated.

I'm currently running the Big Mouth with SLP runners and I like the combo fine.

Actually the ACCEL and the Edelbrock are the same. TPIS gets theirs from the same place but goes one step further and port matches it to their runners.

future mods:
header to tailpipe replacement and a cold air intake. Then I am just going to leave it alone (maybe)

Sorry, you have it backwards. Accel is the different base.
