Default Sheet metal intake and F.I?

How well would these two mix for a street application? My dream car (which I'll never have) would be a 1200+hp 427c.i twin turbo'd F-Body. As I'm sitting here planning it out in my head (for no reason), I thought of a sheetmetal intake, 105mm throttle body, quad fuel rails, etc..... So, I went to MORE Peformance's website to have a looksy at theirs. They say that it's for racing applications ONLY. I'm just curious, why would this be bad for a street app? lack of torque? does it not run right unless you're above 4500rpm or something? Would a a High PSI F.I setup not benefit from this much free-flow? Opinions on something I'll never put into practical use? LOL, thanks.

W2W has made over 1300 hp through a stock LS6 intake, so I'm not sure I would screw around with a sheetmetal intake. I made over 900rwhp through one too.

Nasty Performance Makes a real nice Sheetmetal intake, I got one for Nitrous, but they said it works like a charm on boosted motors, they recommend it over 400 CI, or over 500rwhp with a 346, It takes a while to get though took a little over 3 months to get mine But I got it now and by the time I got it I was almost over the shock of what I just paid for an Intake Your looking at about 2600.00

I have a bespoke cast aluminium intake. I started with just the flanges, so I can do anything with it then the single/twin plenum . I think my idea's solid but need to put it into practice when I get the time. I'm sure the stock intake has it's limitations once you change your engine's specs.
