Edelbrock and Accel offered an upgraded base. Infact, it was an Edelbrock base that Accel used on their SuperRam intake.



While I can't say you're wrong on this point, this wasn't the case when I held each of them and looked. The 1st time I saw an aftermarket TPI base it was an Edelbrock at Jeg's.
I noticed it had a casting # on the bottom to represent the
generic series of casting it was made from.
The 1st base I bought was a big mouth from TPIS. I recognized the same casting number and looked around on the net for an Edelbrock. The #'s were identical, so for that much I agree with you. After reading some threads claiming fitment difficulties on the edelbrok/TPIS parts, I sold my TPIS and got a Superram base. It's definitely a different casting than the others. So from my experience, they aren't all Edelbrocks. The exception to this being that the Superram bases sold new for the last couple years ARE Edelbrocks due to the production issues at the plant where the s/r was being made.
