best intake for a carbed 302

i have a 89 5.0 thats getting gt-40 heads and a ford E-303 cam. what is a good intake for this combo? i have heared the rpm air gap is good but they seem over priced.
the car is just a crusier and weekend car
thanks

You get what you pay for, do you want the best or do you want a cheap one?

so what your saying is, there is no competition for edelbrock???
maybe its time to open a company

Heres a permastar finish one on ebay.

eBay Motors: Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap Intake Manifold SBF 302 (item 140190123705 end time Dec-28-07 17:58:06 PST)

Depends on your application, The Edlebrock is a nice piece and well proven.

When I tested the RPM against the RPM Airgap, there was no differance becaused I blockoff the heat riser that puts hot exhaust under the carb. That is the ONLY differance between the two manifolds. If you have heads without a heat riser hole, there wont be any differance at all.

thats good advice joe.
i should also say that i have a victor jr intake now, how will it do on the street and with that cam? maybe not the best combo but will it be ok for now?

RPM is a better choice for the combo you've described but the Victor will work if you don't have the scratch to get one right away.

the victor jr will make more power above 55 to 5700 rpm. It does hurt you pretty much below 4000. The biggest differrance is at 30 to 3500. The tamer your combo, the less it wiill hurt you on bottom endd.

I prefer the Weiand Stealth to the RPM, and yes I have run both. ran 13.80's with the Edelbrock. Changed to the Stealth, picked up a tenth. Absolutely no other changes performed at the time. Engine eventually went 13.40's and .50's on the Stealth. This engine was run at altitude. At Topeka the Stealth supported 12.80's without any problems at all. Yes, there are alternatives to Edelbrock.
