Default ls3/l92 intake options looking for advice

i am in the process of building a 418 ls3 and am looking for advice on intake selection. i am between a l76/ls3 and an edelbrock victor jr./elbow. From what i have read the victor will outflow the l76 but i am wondering if it will restrict flow enough to warrant a victor jr./elbow. i would kind of like the "new age look" (ls3) since it is going into an older car, but at the same time want the most performance possible. i have not chosen a cam but will definately be under .625 lift. i would like opinions/options. thanks in advance.

Elbow's on carb style intakes and N/A screw up the air distribution something awful. They are great for forced induction though.
