Default Best H/C to utilize single plane intake

Here's my delima- Right now I'm running a forged 346, T-Rex cam, and stock (241) heads with LS6 valves. The top end seems to drop off quite a bit at the track and I think it's due to the intake (Holley allum). Now I know that's not the best intake in the world but it's there for a reason. Everything in the engine bay is billet alluminum and polished. A fast intake would just look horrible in there. A polished single plane with a polished elbow on the other hand would look great, but the T-Rex cam doesn't seem to be the best choice for that intake. Most setups using the single plane intakes seem to be forced induction engines. Would a good high revving 346 be able to utilize a single plane? Any gurus out there have any ideas on a head/cam combo to do this? Would a solid roller be best for the high rpm power? Does anybody even run solid roller 346's anymore???

What's the LSA on your MS3? I think the biggest thing that would hurt me with a single plane and my Trex is it's 109LSA

It is on a 113. My car is carburated now so I could get by with a lower LSA cam but don't have the money
