351w Intake - Ideas?

I am going to be putting in a rebuilt 351w into my Fairlane pretty soon. Motor will be stock, no aluminum heads, no headers, so it's pretty much up to the intake to give me a little power. I was trying to decide between a Weiand Stealth and an Edelbrock RPM. I figure these intakes will be slightly better on the top end without giving up too much low end on a basically stock motor. It'll have a Holley 4160 600cfm carb on top of it. Thoughts?

Weiand stealth would be my choice, but the Edelbrock piece isn't bad either.

Both are dual plane design which improves top end performance but helps more at lower RPM's, where your otherwise stock street motor will see most of it's action.

To this vary day I have not seen a direct comparacen between the steath & RPM on the some engine at the race track. So its still up in the air to me. I had a performer, 2in. spacer & 650DP on a mild 351w, the best ET 13.35 but varyed alittle. Then I put on a RPM & 750VS it slowed the car down about a .10 but vary vary concistant. Same track diffent day.
