Which is the better intake?

Which is the better intake? The Weiand Action Plus or the Edelbrock Performer? I am leaning toward the Weiand because it has a 0-6000 rpm range as apposed to the edelbrock 0-5500 rpm range. Which intake is better or makes more power? Thanks!

What's your setup? Depending on it, maybe look into the Edelbrock RPM 1500-6500. Or if you only want power to 5500, I would get the Performer EPS, it's new with improved HP/TQ over the reg. Performer.

Intake need to be a spread bore so I'm stuck between those intakes pretty much. Still have not picked out a cam so I'm not sure. May pick a cam good to 5500rpm or get a 2K stall and go for 6000rpm. Just wondering which is the better intake maybe that will help sway my direction.
