For the same price as the Gt-40 you can get a edelbrock Performer RPM II. Definatley the best intake on the market inmy opinion. It had the power up top without sacraficing torque down low. I would highly recommend you look at this option. The GT-40 in my opinion is overrated!
You should try a Professional Products Typhoon Intake manifold. This is a copy of the Edelbrock RPM manifold and sells for 279.00 and is worth atleast 40 hp
It really depends on where you're trying to make power. The RPM II is a good choice but if you're going for high rpm hp look into the new trickflow box that goes on the R lower.
