Would I feel a difference in power and 1/4 time? If so which one should I get, I was thinking an Edelbrock RPM.

Edlebrock has a nice 600CFM and manifold that would help your 305...

Check my signature, I have a 350 already with a 600 cfm Edelbrock, but I was wondering if I should get an intake.

Yes, you'll feel a difference, I even noticed it when I installed the Edelbrock Performer manifold and the RPM is supposed to be stronger than that. Just for grins, after you install it bump your timing up a few degrees. That'll make it fun.
