For my tastes, the LS3 intake is the better choice for the average DD vehicle!
Yes I agree the L76 stuff is more in line with a hydraulic roller street engine although it probably may never hit 600 rwhp.

I think 99BlancoSS was seeing the 600 RWHP goal more than anything else. Even the small bore LS7 heads from ETP would be nice with that manifold if they were readily available (I don't think they are though anymore ).

He could also look at the big TFS or AFR heads and a FAST 92 if his goal is really 600 at the wheels.
