The Stealth is a higher rpm manifold than the Performer. The Performer works well on stock engines, but the Stealth is better for mild engines.
For a carb, I'd go for a Holley. For a stock 289, 500 cfm is more than large enough.

Are you auto or stick, you have to factor that in also. With a manual trans car you can get away with running a more aggressive intake like mine (look below), but with an auto you have to be more conservative because of the kick down and all that. But if you do go with the performer intake, get the air-gap style. Itll keep the intake charge cooler and in turn give you more ppower over the non air-gap style.
Ideally you'd give a little bit more info such as compression ratio, cylinder heads, eXhaust, and cam specs, then I could give you a nice recommendation on an intake.

o hate getting in online arguments....but BTW your wrong
http://www.demandsolutions.com/articles/holley.html
Besides its Bowling Green, Kentucky home, the company maintains a factory in Mexico, two factories in Mississippi and one in Long Beach, California. Manufacturing for all locations is controlled by the BPCS manufacturing requirements plan (MRP) system. When Holley began acquiring other brands many of the manufacturers had to come under the BPCS umbrella.

I buy quality if possible most things are made in china now and in 10 year it will be somewhere else, thats the market for you, in the uk we have no car industry, ok we do make lots of honda's etc and have a great racing tradition in f1 and ralleying, simple because the quality went low and people carried on buying them and then the quality got even worse and people wised up. Buy american for sure but make sure the quality is good otherwise the long term future of these american companies is extinction.
