my personal opinion is a Holley Systemax. I got that on my car with some afr165's and a f303 cam an put down 320 to the rear wheels. Plus that is what everyone at my mustang shop runs.

The edelbrock has been the most popular for many years because of the most horsepower and availability to get to the runners for modifications. I have had it on my car for 10yrs and am running over 500 horse power. I think it's your best bet.

Dont forget about the GT40 - it makes good power all the way through the RPM range.

Port your heads, put on either intake and a 65mm TB and you'll see a noticeable change.
