Default Fuel injected carb intake vs. stock type intake?

The old 305 in my 92 Camaro RS is on it's last legs and I'm looking at options for a new engine, I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with a new 440 Horsepower GM LS2 crate engine /T-56 trans combo and would like to use the GM carb intake that has F.I. injector bosses cast into it, then use an aftermarket F.I. system of some type, the main reason is because I want to use a cowl induction system and I just don't like the looks of the plastic front feeding stock type intakes. Has anyone seen any test on how much the power difference would be between the two intake systems? I saw the test between stock intakes and carb intakes with carbs on them on the Corvette site, the carb intake takes a small hit at lower RPM with a carb on it but I'm not sure if F.I. would negate that loss or not? This is just going to be a street cruiser with maybe a trip to the strip once in awhile just for fun.

I guess no ones ever done this, or made a report of the results, I post back how it goes.

Not really, but thanks for the links, I haven't seen those.
I knew the carb intake and carb added 40 HP but the ? that I want to know is how the same intake will work with a EFI conversion on it?
