completely up to you at this point. the eddy intake will work. but if you are looking to have things match, the TFS would be a good choice.

I have one for sale in you are interested (pm me)

the tw heads will line up well port wise with a tfs intake, addermk2's offer would be a good idea....I have the eddy 2 intake and it lined up well with my eddy heads, but when I test fit a tfs intake the ports were larger on the intake vs my heads so an eddy was my best bet, yours will be tfs

The edelbrock rpm2 intake is a very good intake. Makes more top end horsepower than both the trick flow street manifold and the track heat. The only trick flow manifold that would make more is the R series, which is pretty expense. The intake you have is already one of the best.

the biggest problems i see are the converter and gears ... you need 3k MINIMUM, i had a 2220 in my old '90 and it felt stock

3.55 gears ? you need 4.10's , a lot of AOD cars had 3.27's stock and 1 gearset swap you wont feel too much.

the top end looks good, i would definitely port the heads though. at minimum do the exhaust ports and smooth the turns in the intake ports. comp valve job is a must.

other than that your good, you could hit 300 hp, but the aod will rob you some of it.

that setup and a good launch you could hit 12's, your setup will only hit 13.50's best
your lacking leverage bigtime
