Default Best intake manifold for setup??

So I posted earlier this week and found out my setup is kinda weak..

I currently have an edelbrock timing control box(garbage)- upgrading to the MSD 6010 soon.

I have an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold... Now i have read this manifold is best desigend for about 6500rpm... Not sure if that will be best for my setup.

Some background on setup-
Edelbrock carb setup
AFR 210 heads
Doug thorley headers
Comp cam- 617/624.
@.050 231/239.
Lope sep 113
T56
3:73s

Any ideas or info about what manifold would be best?

Well I can tell you that I am running the Edelbrock victor jr manifold and love it! it is very responsive and can handle high rpm. right now I am running it with a twin turbo set up pushing 25 lbs of boost and turning 8000 rpm at the top of the gear.

Holy shizzzz.. 8grand huh? I was checking summit and seen they had a couple different victor jr manifolds?? They had different item numbers. Or was i tripping? I was totally leaning towards the victor jr, much less than the gmpp one.

They are air gapped due to the valley separated from the intake.

I say Vic jr.
