Default Edelbrock knockoff intake manifolds

Anyone have one of those Power-Plus intake manifolds? They are supposed to be knockoffs of the edelbrock line. Anyone know how they compare and are they worth a ..........?
Thanks

They are almost identitcal castings like the Edelbrock equivalent.. The castings aren't perfect.. but neither are the Edelbrocks... The Power Plus intakes are a great value...

I think I paid $149.00 for this Power-Plus RPM clone..polished! I read a dyno test of the two and the cheapy hung with Edelbrock...works for me :cheers:

I have one of the RPM Air-Gap polished clones for sale brand new,,,$140,,it's listed in the C3 for sale section! That's a $40-$60 saving depending on where you buy it.

Is there a website for these guys? I'm looking at low-rise alternatives to my LS6 rect. port intake. Thx.

I would be interested in it but I need one for Vortec heads. Did not see if it was standard or for vortecs.

I find their prices reasonable and service very good. And :rant: they ship from a Canadian depot for folks like me. No further rant for this evening ;) .

I got one for christmas but haven't put it on yet. I got the Performer close polished and it's one nice looking manifold.
