Default SOMEBODY has to make a better intake manifold!

I'm putting stage 3 6.0L heads on my 346 and I am about to buy an LS6 intake, but it seems like the LS6 is so limited. There's got to be a better, cost effective intake manifold that I can get! The car will probably be a 7.0L in about a year. Do I have no choices? Is the Holley manifold as bad as I've heard?

There is a post about it in the external engine section. It should be relatively cheap and they are trying to get it out by Christmas.
