Default Intake Manifold Options?

I just finished the build of my 351W and i have yet to decide what intake i want to strap to it. I am curious to see what input you all might have.

Motor:351 Windsor 0.060 Over
Heads: TFS Trackheats
Stock Bottom end (Balanced Resized Rods New Bearing Whole nine yards)
Dss Racing Pistons
Cam:Ford Racing "E" Duration 282/ 282, Lift .498/ .498
Carb I am looking at either BG Demon 750cfm or Holly HP 750 Not sure yet.

I want a Manifold that will perform Great and still be reliable. I am planning on spinning it up to about 6,000/6,500 area If the cam allows me. I want the most bang for my buck any suggestions?

weiand excelerator if you have a manual trans or a 2400- 2600 stall and an automatic.
i am def in favor of a single plane. the e-can is a lil low for a single plane but i still think it will perform better with a single plane from my past experiences. i bought a dual plane and was dissapointed so i bought a single plane and was a lot happier.

A good middle ground intake in the Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap. I had it on my car when it was N/A and it out performed the Victor Jr. I had and the Weiand Stealth I tried.

Any other dual plane intake should do a pretty good job. Just remember any single plane intake is going to want a lot of air flow and/or higher rpm's..

i heard that too about the victor jr, i could only get 8.00 in the 1/8 mile n/a with that intake a 302 and an e cam.

this was the crappiest intake i ever owned for an n/a application. best time on a 302 with shaved and anglemiled 351 heads, and a 512 lift cam was 10.68 in the 1/8, same car.
