Default What Size Intake?

Hey guys, making a 383 ls1 probably have 215cc heads and a 244/244 cam. I'm keeping it N/A all the way, what intake size is best? I've heard bigger is better, but I've also heard that too much is a bad thing...any opinions?

Does anyone have any suggestions/guidelines for TB/Intake combos or does EVERYONE just assume that bigger is better?

I'd have Ron or Tony do a ported 90/90. Especially with that large cam that will be making most of its power up top.

I've seen guys with dyno proven gains of 30rwhp with ported 90/90's on just a 346.
