Default best intake for the job

k guys im about to buy an intake but i need some help, i was looking at either the trickflow R series rpm range (2500-6500) or the edelbrock victor rpm i think is (4000-8000) it is going to be on a stroker eventually (347 or 331) with afr 185 heads, custom grind cam, and a paxton 2000......... I am doing the intake, heads and s/c first, (keeping it at a conservitave tune) and then later im adding the short block to the mix.......im a little confused on the type of intake i should look at though (i really like the 2 stated above but will take other opinions into consideration.)

I dont see any r series intakes on there site when you look under stock configuration head instead of r series head so i dont think it would work without an r series head, so that wouldj sut leave the victor but you would need bigger heads to make use of that intake. Or a smaller intake like a rpm 2 for those heads.
