If you want to keep the LT1 look swap over to a TPIS mini ram or look into the LTX manifold that old boy that used to run 9's in his LT1 NA is doing nowadays...... Saw a picture of one not too long ago..... it's cut open hogged out, welded and then reassembled......
Or do like most do and run AFR 227's or 220's and run a carb style manifold setup for EFI with injector bungs and fuel rails welded in...... That's what all the big power guys do.... I had heard about a guy out here local to me that supposedly put down almost 500RWHP with a 396 stroker motor NA and he still had the LT1 manifold... Still trying to track that proof down cause i'm building a motor on the side either to keep or sell and I would like it to make 500RWHP NA.... 383 cubes, solid roller, shaft rockers, vacuum pump, AFR 227's and hopefully an LT1 manifold if i think it'll make the power somehow....
As an aside I've seen more than a few gigantic headed combo's with the LT1 manifold put down shitty HP numbers when saddled with that intake.... one was a 398 that made less than 400RWHP with fully ported AFR 220's!!!! he was not happy and sold the whole thing shortly after..... it's like putting a cork on an otherwise powerfuul motor.....
