Question SBC: Edelbrock Torker I vs. Weiand 7546

I am contemplating a 388 stroker SBC build for my '76 GMC Sprint (El Camino). I already have the .040" over 350 4 bolt bare block. I want to build the motor to resemble the '78-'82 hot rod period (using modern iron heads and internals), and make 500HP on pump gas. Two old single plane intakes come to mind...the original Edelbrock Torker and the Weiand 7546. I understand that these will not perform quite like a modern design, but I want to be period correct and still make power for "street/strip" purposes. Which intake is better? Is my 500HP goal reasonable with either one?
