Default performer or RPM II?

i'm going to get an edelbrock intake for my '95, but i'm not sure which one to get, the regular performer 5.0 or the performer RPM II. i dont want to lose low end torque, and i never run it over 5500 RPM, so is it worth it to get the RPM II? or would the regular performer be sufficient? its not blown and i dont use nitrous or anything, its mostly stock at the moment exept for a 76mm MAF and cold air kit, and the exhaust.

the rpm2 will make more power through the rpm range without a loss of low end torque.

yeah it does look cool, i hate the look of the trick flow intakes [:'(]. i like the look of the new BBK ones but some of you guys here told me to stay away from it.

I am no expert, but I thought the RPM II was for cars with heads and cam--that make power over 5500 rpms. Won't the RPM II make a stock car feel slower?

I cant see it making you loose power.
it should do good on a stock head/cam motor.
and the rpm2 will benifit more for every mod you do compared to the rpm1
