Intake options for '96 vortec 350

[96c1500FullRebuild]

Im looking to get rid of this dreaded spider injection. Mainly due to the serious restriction above 3k-3500 rpms. Everything below the intake has been built and should be around 400-425hp. Previously ran block on a carbed set up before it was put in my '96.

What are my options as far as intakes to run on these vortec heads and make power through 5000rpms?

I will mention that I do have a 0411 computer ready for swap and tune when I get everything together.

Stock intake will do well to about 5,500 rpm if you port the base. Other intakes will still run better 4,500+ but you can still get ~400 HP out of the stock intake if you keep the engine speed under 5,500. At 5,500 rpm I gained about 20 gms/sec airflow from the L31 marine intake. About 20-25 hp.

Does the spider block thing impede airflow?
