best aftermarket base?

i bought the accel super ram base off JEGS and the casting on it says EDELBROCK, which i thought would have said ACCEL. i called them up and they said that accel uses the edelbrock casting...

do you guys know if its the exact same thing as the stock edelbrock base off summit???? or does accell like port it out or something....

i was also looking at the TPIS base manifold, is that completely compatible with the super ram upper manifold???

(i want something that is EGR and super ram capable) let me know guys, thanks!

Which ever one you find the cheapest. They are now all made by Edelbrock.

From some I have seen I don't think TPIS even ports them out anymore.

TPIS does port them out but charges another 75$ to do it. I just bought an Edelebrock base and measured the runner ports and they're about a 16th of an inch bigger than stock definitely going to need some porting to match the AS&M large tube runners I have.
