Why in hell would you even consider a Communist Chinese intake manifold when there are alternatives made in the USA?

People are waking up why dont you!!!..
Just for the fun of it. Resendly seen a Edelbrock factory intervieuw on tv.
funny how the manifolds say made in the USA , but they actualy said the roughf casting was from mexico!!!!!!!!!!!!.............. Now unless the intervieuwer was WRONG
this would be a bummer for some.
To me i dont think a engine would feel the diference, ore would have a self esteam problem
being a comunist chinees mexican beaner american crossbred!!. And if im looking at those type of cross bred females!! i cant say they are ugly hell they carry so mutch hybrid viger they are umongst the most good lookin females in the world!!!!!! not to mention there healty proportions..
As long as the product hase its end quality chekt bij the right people. That engine should be just fine just like the USA witch is the most crossed bred nation in the world.
Having said that you obviusly have no idea how many chinees parts are in USA build cars from the factory.. thussend Buick have a car plant in China!!!!!!!!!umongst others....AS for the diferense in the RPM and the T II manifold . i learnd that the T II soften up the botom a bit so that you have more ""grip"" at the start and less wheel spin..

Sorry RRD,he was likely wrong or was misquoted,Edelbrock has it's own foundry here in the US.

Now that's not to say that some of the stuff they (Edelbrock) offer might indeed be cast or made elsewhere outside the US,after all it is a big company that offers all sorts of products for all sorts of vehicles,but it would seem to be more than likely that the bulk of the more popular stuff Edelbrock casts like heads & intakes would indeed be cast in their foundry in Cali.

Ok. Thanks for the info. I assumed he meant to say perfromer rpm because the regular performer is not up to the job for that many cubes. I just swapped from a T2 to rpm because I felt the low end respose wasn't there and I was gettin poor port velocity at idle with the aggressive port job on the heads. Since I don't race I am willing to give up a few tenths to get some streetabliity back. Ill be bolting it on this weekend. And yes, I too had to remove a lot of material to get the T2 gasket matched to felpro 1233s. The ports were still a little smaller than the head ports. Did not leave much room to seal !
