Edelbrock intake manifold?????

1. It's edelbrock, get it through your head.
2. Controle is spelled just "control"
3. I prefer not to waste my time with your rediculous crusade against Edelbrock and figure working on your spelling would get me further....I get tired of seeing you look like an uneducated person.

[/ QUOTE ]It seams quite clear that you are offended because you are a owner of a product that I have pointed out a has a issue with quality control. You are welcome to your opinion just as I am welcome to mine. Big deal my spelling isn't perfect. I'm not pointing out any of your flaws, I'm stating my opinion to someone who may not have known about it. Is this really such a tramadic thing to you ??? /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif

[/ QUOTE ] Obviously it's not for me because I'm not the one that invades any and every edelbrock post protesting and blabing on about your deep and dark hatred for just a company.

I'm not offended by what you say just because I own one of their products...obviously because I have pointed out your terrible attempt at spelling more than anything. I'm not offended...I just put it off knowing that it's coming from a feeble (feeble means weak and simple) minded person. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
The company info on the Edelbrock Aluminum Foundry looks pretty impressive. Thanks for the link. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
I can't believe, AGIAN, a post has gone in this direction!! The guy's ORIGINAL ??? Is TOTALLY Ignored and a rampage of bashing goes on!!

I have used, sold, promoted Edelbrock for years!! I like them. The castings haven't changed and have ALWAYS been rough. The same goes with the Holley Contenders AND Weiand Accelerater intakes. But thats a "flaw" with INEXPENSIVE intake manifolds. You get What you pay for. Bottom line. So can we PLEASE STOP THE BULL*#$#!!
If i were a NEW member and continued to see this crap day after day, I would NOT pay for a membership!! I have been here for awhile, I know this site IS better than this.

MY OPINION!!
 
As far as the ORIGINAL post goes, If most the upgrades you are going to do are going to be "mild" then the performer would be a great intake to use. It works well with other simple bolt on upgrades, such as headers. If you plan on other upgrades that will increase the rpm useage of the engine, such as a cam or maybe steeper gears in the axels. Then the Performer RPM would be better. For "general" street applicatins, I avoid open plenum, torker type intakes as they will usually reduce low RPM torque. Something a heavy truck needs.

So thier quality is why I've spend hour apon hour with the emory cloth cleaning up casting in the runners on many customers Edelcrap intakes ???

Your Crusade to nail edlebrock is getting old. This guy asked for simple opinion on which Edlebrock intake to use, nothing more. Looks to me like he's already made up his mind on what brand he plans on using. Sure you got a right to voice your opinion on how you got burned, but all in all for the money Edlebrock makes decent parts. By the way, Edlebrocks foundrys are the ones used in casting the GM performance parts intakes.

If you are expecting CNC machined ports from Edlebrock, your Barking up the wrong tree. My Performer on my Nova Bolted right in, all my accessories bolted up and it don't leak, but most of all it was the right price. I'd sure love to have some high zoot race car intake on my ride but I got to feed my family too.

Besides, this guy has a STOCK 350 he wants to warm up a little, wouldn't a $300 intake be a waste of money? Sure it would work, but without the other mod's needed to match it (cam, carb, heads and exhaust) its a waste.

[/ QUOTE ] Not everybody knows about Edelbrock's lack of quality controle. So I point it out. I know I'd like someone to let me know befor I spend my money !!! /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you work for Edelbrock? Do you know WTF you are talking about? Do you know about every other companys quality control? Give it a rest and grow the hell up. I have been using Edelbrock products for 20 years and never had a problem caused by them. The only crap is in your head.

hey everyone

i have a quick question, im on to upgrade my engine, but not toooo much, lookin for and intake manifold, some headers, and i was wondering which intake manifole to use, i want to use edelbrock, but which one, performer, and which performer, thanx, ohh, i have a 350ci engine all stock... /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

With running a stock combination I would say go with the Performer intake also. I would also suggest a cam change. You can make an engine work better with an intake and headers but to really wake one up and make the other add ons really shine then swap in a better cam.

Thats why I refused not to reply to Z3pr's last remark to me. I was making no attacks on him personally, just questioning the reasoning for blasting Edlebrock in general. But it seems like he's got an axe to grind and enjoys aurguing with anybody. Count me out.

As for the original Newbie poster looking for help, I apologize for getting sucked into a argument that Highjacked your looking for help. You can see, Most of the people are very helpful and you can tell that by the posts themselves.

MY OPINION!!

[/ QUOTE ] Talk to mr. Bling Bling about stopping the BS. I mearly stated I belive Edelbrock has a issue with quality control. Is my opinion of Edelbrock any different then most people's opinion of Thornbirds ??? I don't see anyone jumping on anybody else for stating opinions on that product. So I call Edelbrock Edelcrap, whats the big deal ?? How many people call Thornbirds Stuckbirds or Turdbirds or Thornturds, or whatever ??? /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif Have I made a personal attack on another member in this thread ??? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
 
I am sorry, That post wasn't directed JUST to you. I can respect your opinion of Edelbrock. Not stopping that. I have had products that suck also. AND i will tell somebody that I thought it sucked. JUST as I think you should also. That a good part of having a forum like this. But if somebody doesn't like your opinion, well, too bad for THEM. But this constant back and forth crap is a real problem. IT waste space. which cost's money. Let the bickering go.
 
If you must post your opinion at least give the poster some options. If you don't like Edelbrock then ok, Point out some similiar intakes that are in the same price range. Criticizing edelbrock doesn't help the poster any. If you can't be constructive to the post then why even post?

/forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

cannibal I am sure you will be happy with any entry level dual plane intake from one of the main manufacturers. I personally have a Edelbrock Performer and it has worked find and I have not noticed any more casting issues than anything else you buy.
 
most of the old school intakes are really badly cast
if you look at some of the intakes from Australian suppliers the castings look outstanding
they make the US stuff look home made from used fishing wieghts

this is basically a revised 351C Edelbrock Torker if the image links

I have an edelbrock torker and next to that it is an embarrassment

for a near stock 350 the best option is a stock 4 barrel manifold other then the wieght
