i was going to go with edelbrock the regular one, but this guy i ran into had a 93 cobra 347 stroker, and he said he will vouch that the gt-40 outflows the holley and edelbrock.

im gonna pick holley cause i have one. and i dont know which of the edelbrocks youre talking about. the victor 5.0 is a good intake for racing. it loves nitrous too. i dont really care for the other edelbrocks though. the holley systemax is good. the guy who i bought it from had a super charger on it and he said the holley was probably the best intake for forced induction. what are your goals for your engine? are you going to have a mildly modded daily driver or a full out strip car? and are you going to run it naturally aspirated or go with a s/c, turbo, or nitrous? thats whats going to determine which intake you should get, along with a lot of other engine parts

in my experience owning 3 of the ones up there, the gt40 was the best all around, although not the highest hp, id did have the best torque.

well, its simple, the peak hp the gt40 made wasnt off by about 6 from edelbrok and trickflow, but it made almost 10ftlbs of peak torque, and made atleast 3lbs more across the range.
