intake maninfold selection

I am getting ready to switch to carb and im doing a LT1 cam swap. My question is, which intake manifold should i go with. Im gonna use an edelvrock, but i dont know which one would be best. Im looking to have a good top end. Thanks

the performer rpm would be my suggestion. has a 2500-6500 rpm range. that's if you have to stick with edelbrock. what i am running is a holley street dominator intake with an rpm range of idle-7200 rpm. it works great and make good streetable power.

well......there is the old offy 360*.
with the right combo it can put 25 hp & 33 ft.lb over the rpm!
keep that under your hat.shhhhh
it is a bit more expensive though.

The RPM is a nice intake. For higher r's I would go with the Air Gap, even though he wont need the RPM's with that cam.
