Default what 2V intake manifold to go with F/I?

I was wondering what is the best intake manifold to go with F/I on my 2V motor? I was thinking between the bullet, the HPS, the TFS, or the edelbrock? Also i was thinking i would put a custom turbo grind cam in when i do the intake swap. So with the four intakes i mentioned what would be the best for my setup:
03 cobra block
03 GT PI heads fully ported
turbo custom cam (being installed when the intake goes on)
twin 50mm turbos

also the car made 540 hp and 628 tq with the stock intake and cams

Id probably say the edelbrock intake manifold would probably be the best. hardballr manifold is just an aluminum factory replacement from what i heard. The Trickflow would also be a nice piece. Id get the one with the monoblade cobra throttle body upper intake. The bullitt intake manifold is just too expensive to be a good alternative to the aftermarket intakes out there. There is always the infamous BBK DSI coming out for our cars for $900...if it ever comes out. lol

Depends on the intake. P51, no. TF, maybe. Edelbrock, yes. But don't expect a miracle we're not talking huge number gains on stock longblocks.

A guy on MF gained 40rwhp with a fully built engine and the edelbrock. The car was built for turbos but didn't have them installed yet.

The P51 always loose low end power.

yea I'm not a fan of the P51, my buddy has it on his bolt-on and CAM gt. i told him it wasnt a good idea. we raced and he only won by about a car. if i wasnt on bald *** street tires i would have been at his door. ANYWAY, what did u pay for the edlebrock?
