Not all AMD panels are made off shore. Some are and some aren't. But... there is a big difference in being forced to buy a panel that may not be available anywhere else, and buying a cheap intake that's a poor quality copy of a US manufacturer's intellectual property.
Always buy US first.
I buy what works first "American made" isn't what it use to be. Head over to the race section and see some of the issues people are having with Edelbrock parts.
When I put my small block engine together I had my own issues with genuine Edelbrock RPM intake where they forgot to put enough material on one corner of the intake gasket surface (front seal) and it puked oil all over the corner of my engine. I had to resort to an oversize cork gasket and RTV to seal it up.
No leaks with the factory intake.
Thanks for contributing.
