Default Best intake for LT1?

What would be the best manifold for a LT1? I've already got a moroso that the previous owner put on, but theres no changes to the manifold. I want bigger.

First of all, what are your plans with the car? What's the set-up? 85% +/- of LT1 owners still retain the factory manifold. Why? Because it flows damn well from the factory. Do you think it's a coincidence that they don't make aftermarket LT1 intake manifolds? No interest, simply because it is not needed. Edelbrock makes one that sucks *** from what I've read.

Longtubes/true duals, then gears. Followed by alot of suspension work. We'll go from there when we get to that point. (Ohhh so expensive -.-) Oh, and eventually a Ram air hood, then I'll get an airbox, until then I'm just keeping the Moroso CAI.

Yes, I've got a moroso CAI. I saw the one from edelbrock, but I wondering if there were any others.
