We’re all about made in the USA parts when they make sense, but I’m very well known for saying that crap is crap, regardless of where it comes from. The point being that you should buy the best parts you can afford, regardless of where they come from. There are a lot of great performance parts being manufactured all over the world. But if you are here in the U.S. and wanting to know how your American Made intake manifold stacks up against some import models, check out this dyno testing video where a few intakes are being bolted onto a small block Chevrolet to see which one comes out on top. Will the cheap import keep up with the Made in the USA model?
Let’s watch and see how this mild small block build responds.
