Default Best Intake Manifold for this setup?

I'm planning my build as most of you are. I will be getting the TFS 2V heads and CMS stage 2 cams. My question is what is the best intake manifold for this combo?

I am deciding on 3 of them right now, The Foxlake P-51, the Edelbrock Victor JR, or the TrickFlow Track Heat.

My car is only my weekend driver, not my DD, but it is not a track-only car. I still need good drivability on the streets without sacrificing too much on the lower RPM band.

Which intake would you guys recommend?

Edelbrock Victor JR, I hear alot of good things about it and also it seems to be pretty reasonable...

Does anyone have a link to the elbow adapter for the Edelbrock manifold?

go to MMR's website for the stock style plenum adapter plate. Its under SOHC parts in the products menu. And Eddie intake would be my choice as well. You might want to run a CMS stage 2.5 cam as well as i heard that you wont get the full benefit of the TFS heads with stage 2's. Just what i head. Dont know if thats possible or not on the stock shortblocks, even with the added PTV clearance from the moved intake valve.

Get a Fox Lake P-51 and have fox lake Port Match the trick flow heads. That would be SICK!!!! Thats what I wanna do! I also heard that the Edelbrock Intake was a nice Piece too.

Unless you plan on turning 7k or better, stock is best IMO.

From what I've read, TF is a pretty impressive setup.
