Default Which Manifold For 5.3....

Alright im trying to figure out what intake manifold i should go with on my 5.3 build i have seen plenty of Edelbrock setups and wanted to know a little more about them.....

I was just going to use my ls6 intake manifold to save some cash but i could sell it and do a Edelbrock setup for not much more and was wondering if there was a big diff. in power etc. etc......

If you have any experience with them please chime in and let me know what you thought......



Thanks.....
