If you can fit it get the big tall elbow....the low profile "hat" only has a staic flow of 580 cfm which cfm quickly become a bottle neck.

Sounds like a great build!

Oh, if you have 11"+ check out the Edelbrock proflo xt. I run one and LOVE it.....basically its a cast version of a tall sheetmetal intake, plenty of flow, and really smooths out the idle for a big can (yes I know your going FI), but I can't praise it enough
