Single Plane vs. Stock intake on 383
Ok, I'm still in the air about doing a single plane. I think if I ever do it though, I would get the intake modified and not the heads.
I am going to be running a 383 with TFS 195cc heads that flow 313 at .600, 2.08/1.60 valves, a 236/242 .612/.612 110+4 cam.
Right now I have a LE ported stock LT1 intake and just was wondering how much of a gain I would see from doing a single plane?
Eventually I am going to put nitrous back on it and I know that the single plane will have better distribution than the stock one.
what do you guys think?

You NEED to get the cam specific for whichever you choose.
I would get a Vic jr with that small of a cam.
Have the intake modified, send it to Bret Bauer he knows whats up with a super vic.
My super vic is just touched up in the plenum and match ported to the heads, he said I have 20 hp to get with his modifications.

Dont just get the intake to have it, you should 'need' it or you are leaving power on the table.

A few years ago, a local guys built a serious 396 with AFR 220 Competition heads and a big solid roller. He dyno'd it with the SP and a ported LT4. The LT4 made more power below 5200 rpm, they were dead even from 5200 to 6200, then the SP pulled away above 6200 rpm by a margin of 15 hp at peak. Not worth it IMO.

Yeah, I've been discussing it with some people and being that the car is mostly going to be a street car I think I am going to be better off just staying with the LT1 intake.

I am getting ready to install a single plane on my new build. 383 w/ Trickflow TEA heads and a solid roller. I am going to use a elbow and 90mm TB. This should work great with my YSi and 20lbs of boost.
I will let you guys know results when the car is done.
