So the spider is the way to go? Where is the best place to get the spider? What does it cost? I have heard that the ports on the Holley don't match well with all heads.

the spider is the efi "version" on the eddy Victor Jr. (its a carb intake).
the Super Victor can be done the same way...
imagine a Daily Driven 306 with a Super Victor sitting on top, Naturally Aspirated.
he is in love with the intake, no complaints from him yet, and the cam was ground for use of the ported Holly II intake, that is now for sale .

here is my efi vic jr:

Ok. Should I go with the Holley II or the Edelbrock RPM II then? I read up on the spyder and it's good for the 4000 RPM and up. I want power at a little lower RPM too. I want low end torque too. I like the way the RPM II has a broader rpm range 1500-6500 and the Holley shows 2000-6500.

how much air does a 302, a 331, and a 347 need at 6500rpms?
ask yourself this: how much time will i spend below 4,000rpms when i am drag racing; i have a (i am assuming a stock t5, since a tko was not listed) T5 with a 2.95ish first gear ratio, 3.73's and a blower. the minimum launch rpm should be at least 3,000rpms.
and did you not read the pm i sent you?

either one will work, but it's not so much the intake that'll dictate the rpm power band, that is just where the intake best supports power, what'll be key in developing the power band you want is the cam and a properly set up valvetrain as well as other things
