If you plan on doing heads, Edelbrock Performer RPM or Weiand Stealth. If you plan on keeping it mostly stock, Edelbrock Performer. The Performer would match the powerband characteristics of the stock heads/cam better. Hell, you'll even get good gains using the RPM with stock heads. I went from a best mph of 95.89 with the stock intake to a best of 98.51 just by swapping to the RPM. The reason I picked the RPM however is because I'm putting on some RPM heads.

That's too broad of a question. What are your plans for the car?

Depending on the heads - most people in the carb world are happy with the weiand stealth.
