not jacking the thread or anything but what do you guys think about some of the stuff that summit sells

i honestly think they just put there logo on other companies stuff

like there drag wheel, there almost identical to a drag lite

Their wheels are not the same. I have compared them side by side. The summit wheels are solid aluminum and weigh about double what the corresponding weld wheels weigh (which are hollow and welded together). Also the welds use a shank style lug, whereas the summits use a taper stock style lug. Also the backspacing choices for the summit wheels are not great.

ok so basically its a centerline that looks like a drag lite......cool didnt know that

what about some of there other stuff like, fuel pump, mass air meter, ignition box, would you ever trust any of it?

or would you say you get what you pay for?

A lot of their stuff is just wholesaled and repackaged. Would you buy trick flow heads? Trick flow is owned by summit.

I have had a summit carb 140 gph fuel pump that is about 5 years old and still working great.
