as said, summit brand is really rebranding of good suppliers.
HOWEVER, i always have to ask, why are the companies allowing this? is it just because summit can buy in bulk? or are the products seconds?
regardless, i have never heard anything bad about summit stuff.

Summit doesn't make anything.
Name brands sell them rights to slap their logo on stuff and sell it for less.
Why? more sales.
Like Summit ign boxes are just Mallory units for less.
Summits new street carb is just a Holly avenger street carb.
Do some dective work to find out who gears they really care.
Nearly all off brands are like that, its a name brand product sold for less for more volume. As its the name brand that makes it cost more, not the product quality.
Its just smart business, either provide the low cost alternative and still get some cash from the sales, or someone else will.

That's basically it. I beleive Summit uses Motive gears for their ring and pinions. The Summit carb is an exact replica of the Holley street avenger. It's all about the name.
You figure these companies make a product for x amount of dollars, and charge 5x for the product. Well they aren't selling like they thought they would, so instead of dropping the name brand product down to 2x, they drop it to 4x and sell a "knock off" brand cheaper. This way they don't really make their company look like they are desperate to sell something.
The rear diff covers are the same way. I beleive it's Moser, TA Performance, and Summit all have the same exact cover design, with the difference in the engravement on the back.
