Default Intake for turbo L92 6.0....LS3 VS Vic Jr ? ?

Hey guys its time to slap a intake on this build. Motor is a 9.5:1 6.0, L92 heads, 218-224 115 LSA Cam. Will be running a LS2-LS3-LS7 90mm DBW TB. Im torn between running a L76 / LS3 intake, or putting a Vic Jr with a elbow on it. I have tons of hood clearance, so i can fit a nice unrestrictive high-bend elbow on the Vic Jr, if i go that route. Which setup is better for boost? Not looking to spin much past 6400-6500 RPM, car has 3.31 gears and 2800 stall. Im leaning towards running the LS3, to keep the low end torque up untill the boost hits. But if it runs the top end considerably better with the Vic, is it worth it? Opinions?

That nova is bad ***, ive been drooling over that car for a while! The Vic Jr would actually work out better for me, Im running truck accessory drive, and i wouldn't have to run a relocation bracket to clear the TB, or clock the TB either like Ive had to on other cars with truck accessories and 90mm DBW Tb's. I guess the question is, how much low end will I loose before boost comes in? I dont want to kill the bottom end, the car is gonna spend alot of time on the street.

What turbo and what size exhaust housing? Lag can be a result of that too.
