If you found the Blox for $129, then by all means get it. Regarding quality they're pretty much the same. I think the only functional difference is something to do with the runners, I haven't really looked into it in any great amount of detail.

so you have to upgrade the cams or youll lose torque, like the skunk2 manifold?
