AFR carb intakes???

I was just looking through the AFR catalog and i was surprised to find that they made intakes too. I am looking at the carb intake, PN 3050 or 3051. I was just wondering how they were compaired to the Edelbrock RPMs or something to that nature?
also, will there be any advantage to getting the polished one vs. the standard one? We will probably have this thing ported out too (we would the edelbrock too), so let me know what you think about the AFR intakes.

They basically are just edelbrocks by a different name.

Yeah, don't waste your money. They cost about twice as much as an edelbrock intake from summit. Most intakes will outflow any set of heads you can put it on, so the fact that they are port matched or polished doesn't really help you that much, at least in my opinion.
