Intake coices

I'm building a 360 small block with 8.7 CR a 224 @ .050 duration with a 500 lift and magnum exhaust manifolds.
I have two intakes a factory 4bbl (1974) or an edelbrock torker. I like the idea of the weight savings of the torker. But what say you guys/gals?
After 4500 rpm the torker is better
I had good luck with mine on a 340 11 to1 243@50 108 cam it had rhoads lifters so that made it slighty bigger then your cam but you have 20 more cubes of torque . Air gap is hard to beat for a street car.
1 are yo going to race it?
2 gear ratio
3 valve size
