Default Single Plane or Stock intake on LT1?

I am building a 383 now, all forged bottom end, Trick Flow 195's and am going to put either a D1 or F1 on it with around 16-20PSI.

My original plan was to do a single plane intake, but the heads I bought were not drilled to a SBC pattern like they were supposed to be. So now, I don't know whether to go ahead with the single plane or just slap on a LT1 style intake.

Wanting to make over 700 at the wheels.

What do you guys think?

LT1 with mild porting will be perfectly fine for that application but a nice single plane looks killer and will be more efficient.
