ZZ4 intake vs. Edelbrock intake

How does a ZZ4 intake compare to edelbrock intakes? I heard that the ZZ4 intake was modeled after the edelbrock performer. If I could score a ZZ4 manifold for 50 bucks would it be worth it.

i would run the ZZ4 over the performer. Edelbrock makes good intakes, but the performer is basically a stock replacement.

So for $50, sounds like a good deal.

I have the ZZ4 intake. It's slightly taller then the Edelbrock. $50 sounds like a good price if its in good shape.

I have them both.

There is no way the ZZ4 intake has anything to do with the Performer. They are quite different.

I'm running the ZZ4 on my car right now. I highly recommend it.
