Never heard of the place or the intake. Sure looks like a copy of the edelbrock performer.

if you pick up a copy of mm&ff with john's car in it they have a short little thing about that intake. they're out of hawthorne, ca. It's cheaper and is said to slightly out flow the eldbrock intake eventhough it shares all the same edlebrock gaskets.

I talked to someone (a competent guy who works on his own car) who used that intake, and he said the fit was horrible. Nothing lined up properly, and it was a major pain to fix all the things that were wrong with it. I'm just relaying what he said...I have no personal experience with it.

I looked at that website. I will wait and see on that one. I am leaning towards the the new Edelbrock RPM 2. With a new cam when my motor goes that is. Collecting parts for now.

that was exactly my experience.
If you're handy with the die grinder for about 6 hourse, pick up all your own vacuum lines, and don't mind picking up a complete heli-coil set this is the intake for you.
