You will have NO low end from the eBay manifold. That is for high displacement, high-RPM engines only. People buy it for looks and then hope it runs. The Dorman is a much-improved version of the LS2 ,manifold. It will perform in a way that suits what you are building
With throttle bodies, you get what you pay for. $80 throttle bodies leak, don't hook up right, and are very difficult to tune.

Some folks shave the outside TBSS, sand smooth and paint. It's sort like putting lip stick on a pig. Might help the pig's self-esteem but it's still a lip stick wearing pig.
I'm done flow testing my TBSS and was hoping to find it a new home for $150 plus shipping
Has fuel rails & fuel Injectors. I think the injectors are 34# Well at least the TBSS has a Purdy price.

So will my 6.0 truck fuel rails work on the Dorman? Actually I’m not even sure if I should use them because I’m aiming for about 600 hp peak. I’m just mainly curious if I need a certain type of fuel rail. Ideally what I’d like to run is a -8 feed, split to two -6’s (one into each rail), -6’s out to a -8 into a regulator, and a -6 or -8 return.
Edit: where would you mount a fuel rail pressure sensor with aftermarket fuel rails, or is it even necessary?

BTR has a really nice aluminum intake coming out that's supposed to really shine... Just throwing it out there.
It's a 408 going in a S10 sized truck... I think the guy can afford to lose some low end torque, don't you?

Purdy, that rules the TBSS out. LOL.

Mine will be boosted when I do the 2nd part of the build. A low carb-style intake with an elbow will fit under a stock hood. A taller one will fit under a small cowl
I wonder how well the fast 92 will work on a 1000 hp application. Found this, but the cam wasn't changed to account for the intake swap. A long runner intake will make more power throughout the curve than a short runner.
