Default What intake do you recommend?

hi everyone, i'm new to the site, first post is a question

i've had my 93 5.0 for three years now, but i finally started making a little bit more money and am able to build it up.
I bought it with 73k miles all it has is exhaust, an e303 cam and 3.73

Now it has 80k miles and i've purchased a set of AFR 165cc's, an x303 cam, High compression pistons, 30lb injects with the MAF, 255lph fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, BBK highflow cat X pipe, BBK shorty headers, 75mm Throttle body and i'm going to buy a performance clutch, roller rockers and forged pushrods
Along with suspension, Drag radials and when i have enough a transmission, probably the TKO

i just cant decide on what intake to go with, i like the way the SSI and SSI R look but its not about looks, i want what works best with the setup i have.
I know a guy that will sell me a Edelbrock RMP ! for 350 too

rpm II is an improvement over original but none the less if you can get it cheap go with it!! and victor is to much for your set up
