I got em both. My advice to you, get the base and NOT the runners. Get AS&M runners!

Convertible, L98, Edelbrock intake, runners & TES, SLP cam, Thin Head gaskets, March underdrive pulleys, Fastchips custom chip, Accel 300+ ignition, Relocated MAT sensor, TPIS airfoil & AFPR, K&N airfilters W/ chopped airboxs, Dynomax high flo cat, Flowmaster exhaust, MAC subframe connectors, B&M shift kit & XMSN cooler and NOS!!

The AS&M runners are alum. tubing. The Accels are cast alum. The AS&M flow more air and are lighter too.

I have the Edelbrock base also, definitely the best base for the money IMO. It's identical to the Accel Super Ram base, I've seen both and couldn't tell any difference at all besides the extra $200 for the Accel.

I have the Edelbrock base. I agree with Jared, it is probably the best bang for the buck.
