I am not an LS-boy so sorry for the , possibly obvious question....
my money is on some 12* Mast components?
thoughts and or shared experiences are greatly appreciated.

TFS LS3s or ANY Edelbrock head, as long as its from Edelbrock and not a vendors ported version.

chaos,
more NA power, even lower n2o et's. i may have buyer's for a good portion of my parts. i was thinking either Gen 1 SBC or LS.
WKMCD,
yes, john is the ****! he is local to me, and actually converted and ported the Super Victor that is on my LT motor.
marc,
that is nuts!
KCS,
why not Mast's intake manifold... cost?

Or TSP LS7's?

Mast's manifold is nice, but it's still a single plane manifold with unequal length runners feeding off of a single 4 barrel. The Holley Hi-Ram is very much like the Marcella/Beck/TRE sheet metal manifolds, but roughly 1/3 the price since it's a cast piece, and you can machine a blank top for two 4 barrel throttle bodies.

Really depends on what your trying to build, and what its going in, but if it was a bigger cube setup in a lightweight car I would lean heavily towards our aftermarket PRC 285 cylinder heads, and a Marcella intake on top.

I have mast 305s and mast intake, the mast intake is a work of art,basically like a nascar intake,taper size is text book perfect.. however if I did it again, I would go All pros done with small chambers LSW 12-2 to get away from running dome top piston. 7 mm guides, titanium valves, locks, retainers. 2.25 intake valve. on 4.185- 4.200 bore.

Some good answers here.. I love Marcellas work as he's as keen on aesthetics as he is on performance.
However there are no LS- boys, only LS-men

Aaron,
well 3500#'s is light to me, haha! yes bigger cubes than 396. that is not a hard thing to do with a motown block.
