Need help choosing an intake

I am swapping TPI to carb on my '86 IROC and I need some advice choosing an intake. Here's what I've got:

Motor is a 350 TPI from an '89 (I think) camaro
Cam Specs .328/.328lobe lift, 210 intake @ .05, 228 exhaust, 112 LSA
Heads are stock L98, but will be upgraded in the future (think AFR 195's or similar)
Edelbrock shorty headers

So what should I pick? Price isn't a major sticking point. I would like something that will fit under a stock hood. The carb will be whatever Barry-grant reccomends and will be using annular boosters.

RPM Air Gap has come up more than once as a good choice. Any feelings on that vs. the traditional RPM? Any hood clearance issues to consider?

Whatever fits your budget. You wont notice any power difference between the two if thats what youre asking.
On hood clearance I dont know.

Air Gap and non-air gap are the same height and behave about the same.
