Which intake?
I have a stock cast iron intake on my new 390. I have my edelbrock intake too. Would it be better to put on the edelbrock? I'm not sure what kind but it says F-427 under the Edelbrock. So stock or edelbrock? Which has better performance?

Go with the stocker. Make sure the stock intake has the same size ports as the heads you're running.

I agree with averagef250. The F-427 is a manifold for higher RPM than you will use and will hurt towing, street performance and gas mileage.
