best intake with new engine??

as I mentioned it in another thread, I'm getting a 290HP new 350.
Now my intake is original and I wanted to replace it with something better.
wich one is a good one?
i heard that one was good: edelbrock alum performer intake
is there anything better?
my vette is a 77 with KnN filter, new engine, original carb (for now)
thanks

I would say the Edlebrock will be just fine. You're not going to get a noticeable difference with any other intake with the numbers that engine makes.
Good choice on the engine selection. It should be very dependable.

The Performer 2101 or Weiand Action+ are about +12hp over the non egr standard iron Chevy intake so change to Al. intake.

rag tests seem to show about a 10HP advantage for edelbrocks
performer over the cast iron L/48 manifold it does shave around
twenty pounds of weight off your car.
