Intake choices

I have a 460 (motorsport shortblock, rebuilt once) Edelbrock RPM heads, the cam is a motorsport part with .550 lift I think. I don't remember the spec. Ooops.
The car also has a 175 shot of nitrious. The trans is a C6 with a 3000 stall converter. 3200lbs. for the car. The car has run a best of 6.81 in the 1/8th.

At any rate I am using a Weiand Stealth intake now. I shift the car at 6000 RPM. So my question is would I help or hurt my time by changing to an intake like the Edelbrock Victor?

I have been told that nitrious works better with an open plane manifold instead of a dual plane like the stealth.

True on the nitrous.I would prefer the victor manifold and it will provide more power at the higher rpm range.

I am gonna go with truggy here, the victor starts it's rpm range around 3000 rpm so your stall isn't going to hurt you with that manifold, and the nitrous will like it a lot better.
