To the OP.......if you goal is only 450rwhp N/A stick with a stock intake. Get it cut, ported, welded......etc and you will be fine. If your goal is 500+rwhp N/A and you plan on spinnning the motor to 7500-8000 rpms the single plane or sheet metal is the better choice.

after i build the bottom end. i plan to be approaching 600 rwhp.

as said previously the i will be having the stock intake ported by Lyoyd Elliot when i get my heads and cam. and use that till i can learn the math to design my intake and build it.

even if its a flop and doesn't work i would enjoy the project

I've been following that one on the impala forum. I really like that idea. I plan on making something like that in my garage eventually. I already have all the stock parts for it laying around. I might as well do something with them.

Go take a look at this and take some notes. Hasnt been on a dyno or at least been posted up yet, but seems very interesting.

I am necroposting the hell out of this because I can't get this above link to work any more. Am I the only one? I used to have all of the pictures saved on my computer before it crashed, but now they are gone. I was looking to resave them, but I can't get it to work.

The Impala forum had a major crash in August and all data from before that is gone.

Far as I know the dual TB intake project was a failure, car never ran right.

Thanks for that information. I was noticing that I could get recent threads to show up, but older ones weren't working. I wasn't sure what the issue was.

Were the issues simply tune related or fabrication and assembly related?
