Multiport fuel injection doesn't really work like that. With the injectors at the port, the runner's only have to carry air, so making them long, only restricts airflow. Cam choice becomes more important on a short runner engine though.
Runner length absolutely dictates torque curve/peak. Look at the TPI, its midrange is massive. These trucks suffer from a 2200 RPM dip caused by the stock intake, and the LT1 manages to not really have a torque peak. The runners are so short that, when combined with a wide LSA cam, there's no real hump in the middle.
I'm telling you that forcing an engine to breath through a straw isn't the way to make more power.
And I'm telling you that a 10.5:1 Vortec with a short runner intake and the appropriate cam will make more power EVERYWHERE than stock. As do Stealth Ram equipped TPI engines.
The question wasn't a general one though, it was a specific one. In this application, you can have a stock intake, or a Marine intake, a Carb'd intake, a Ram Jet, or the Edelbrock XT.
Out of those options, I choose the Edelbrock XT as the best mix of performance, price, capability, and ease of install.
