Default which intake manifold will show more gains then the cobra

I have (e cam and edelbrock performer heads) and i want to get a intake manifold that will go best with my setup. I want the most horsepower that is possible out of it... I have the cobra right now but what is gunna make a difference for me... It seems like the intake ports on the cobra are circle and the other aftermarket ones are squares and dont seem as restricted as the cobra or is this just what i thought..

The flowcharts Ive seen show the Cobra slightly outflowing the GT-40 manifold. Cobra and GT-40 manifolds are good for around 400 HP.

I have the trickflow street heat and it has rectangular ports and flows more than the gt40 and cobra's in the higher rpms. But the trickflow intakes suffer in the lower rpms in comparison to the cobra and others.

you could port your intake out to flow better then all of them but if you want to just buy a new 1 the Edlebrock RPM 2 or the Holley
