You probably dont remember me...but I bought your buddies black 94 Z about 4 years ago.....I met him in Jackson Miss and bought the car.....I am on a similar quest as you are..only with a LT1@500 rwhp normally aspirated through an auto and a 9 inch on pumpgas..but anyway...back to your junk 
Have you seen pics of the Katech C5R engine in the Compuware Corvette? It has a carbon fiber plenum box over a very similar setup.....me personally I would not run a setup like you are talking about with individual filters...they will be sitting directly over the headers and heat rises..especially in a street driver..heat soak and detonation(from the heat soaked air) will be a problem.
What kind of hood do you have? If I was gonna run a individual filter setup I would build a box type deal that would seal against the bottom of a cowl hood and pull cool air from the cowl area....otherwise Katech is a sponsor here ( Ithink) they would prolly help you on a C5R box or something similar.

David, I remember you. I was with Kevin when we brought you the car. As for the manifold, it's very popular in Australia, and many people use it on the street over there. The heat soak issue is only going to be at a stand still. Once moving, the hot air is dispursed from the engine bay. The reason for the manifold is because no one makes one that can move the air that my heads need. Sheetmetals may get closer, but in turn you get a unstreetable power band and still have bad driveability from having a single inlet intake. With this, I still have a long runner that keeps the power were I want it and have unmatched driveabilty compared to other cars. At this point, a heat sheild over the headers may be a better choice than boxing off the filters and killing the power. I have already spoke with Katech to not much avail. We ended up back on the individual filter theory.
Get a load of this...just saw this in Hotrod Mag

If there came a point in which this manifold was not fitting or it was being a pain, I would look in that direction, but for now, I believe it's going to be the best thing for this application. Guys, the pics still work for me. Not sure why you can't see them????
Now I can see the pics!! That Harrop is an awesome piece! Those heads are works of art and that SB looks sick!! Can't wait for it all to come together and see the engine bay pics with it all sittin in an SS. Keep the pics coming as you move on in the build!

Plus the price is out of the average guys hands. However, the australian charts that I have show over 70rwhp gains across the board over the FAST 90mm on a mild 427 ci.

Frankly nobody on the street can afford (or justify) an intake like the C5-R. That intake costs over $10,000. The C6.R intake is even more and is proprietary information and can't be sold. The closest thing is the Harrop Hurricane and that's over 4k.
