440 intake manifold decision

Im ready to buy an aftermarket aluminum intake for my 440 dart! Its a street car that may see some track time but i DO want it to be as quick as possible on the street. It has stock 452 heads currently but will go aluminum soon hopefully. Ok, i REALLY want the performer RPM so bad i can taste the aluminum!!, BUT, i run a thermoquad, and by the time i take the height of the RPM intake, plus the carb adapter plate, im almost posotive it will not fit under my flat hood, and i dont want to cut my hood. I wish i knew someone close by that i could borrow the RPM intake and just mock it up on my car to be sure, but i cant see spending 300 bucks to buy the intake with the chances it will fit being so low. SO, i need to figure out which one to get that will clear the hood. Ive read that intake shoot out and still cant decide. Im guessing its between the Torker 2 and the holley street dominator,,? Any opinions are greatly appreciated. I need to decide soon as i have a lead on both the SD and torker 2 right now used.
Thanks!
Holley Street Dominator is the best bet. I have the Torker II on mine and its a close second. I've been dying to find a 440 Holley Street Dominator but they seem to be rarer
