Edelbrock, Quickfuel, many great carb builders, and a few intakes, right here in the good old U.S.A.


Holley = China Crap. That's why its cheaper. BUY AMERICAN!!!! Save a Job!!!!

I was looking at performer but. Feel like I'm going to have tons of torque to start with that is why I'm leaning toward open plan

No car part has ever made me smile as much as opening the box of my Victor JR ls1 manifold and seeing the American flag with the letter letting me know it was made by Americans and that they appreciate the business! That's the type of company I don't mind spending the extra money to buy parts from!
