Intake selection help

Can any one point me in the direction of a good intake choice for my application. I want most power possible for street/strip build on my 455 Olds block 9:5.1 compression using stock J heads for now and maybe upgrading to Elderbrok down the road. Cam specks are:
Duration @ .05

LSA 110

Valve overlap 8
Intake:

225.5

Not sure what this means but Centerline 108 (ATDC)

Exhaust

231

Centerline 112 (BTDC)

Well, first thing is first... Get an Oldsmobile...
TEN... I would go with the an Edelbrock Performer. The Torker is more for Strip IMHO. The Performer is streetable and good performance as well. IMHO

That Brothers intake looked interesting ? 1st I've heard of them . Have you checked @ Oldspower.com ? or Realoldspower ?
they seem to have more engine build topics there .
Maybe not as family friendly as this site seems to be

I have never seen that product before but it looks like a standard dual plane manifold such as the old Edelbrock O4B or the new Performer except that it is an air gap design. The price is in the ballpark for a new item. With J heads though, you need to stay with the performer I think.
