Default What intake should I run with 500+ cubic inches?

I am thinking about using the LSX tall deck block and building a naturally aspirated 500+ cubic inch motor. What is the absolute best flowing intake out there? I know some of you guys have done some big cubic inch motors, which intake did you run?

Marcella is going to put one together for my N/A 460. U keeping the tbody or going carb? Wont argue with single plane if going carb. Might make a few more ponies but John's intake are pure eye candy....

Beck, Marcella, or Mast are gonna be the favorites. Holley has some nice intakes coming out as well. Some of these will require you to cut the cowl on your Camaro though.

Thanks for the info guys I appreciate it, this build will be a while but what kind of power can a man make with 500ci and still run pump gas?

Waaaaaaaay to many combo's out there to narrow in on a number. Stick? Auto? Intended use - street, strip? Solid? Hyd? Etc, etc... I can see 650-800 at the wheels.

Its gonna be a stick used mainly for the street and def hyd, I was thinking the same hp numbers but I am hoping for the high side of that margin.

Gm makes a carburated style intake that might work nicely with your build but I do agree with some of the above post.. A Edle Brock or a custom job would for the $$$$
