I used the summit version with my last/latest engine build.  Actually I was
surprised I was able to get an aftermarket steel one...

Not sure if Aluminum gives you anything extra...

Just my two cents.

     Stock Ford piece was steel. There are aluminum versions now
     available.
     One aluminum version is made by Speedmaster, which is also Procomp
     (China crap), IIRC. $54 on eBay.
     Another aluminum version is by Aeroflow (Australia) and
     sold/recommended by Tim Meyer on eBay. Price of $140.
     Summit has an in-house steel version at about $130.
     Anyone have recent feedback on any of these?
     Anyone have pros or cons regarding using aluminum versus steel?
     Thanks,
     Larry
