Default What should I get

OK so I got this 93 notch that Im building this motor for the motors is 40 over and will be 347 I got the the rotating assembly a week ago but since Im waiting on my block to come back from machining I want to see what you all think I should get as far as intake. Im running trickflow twisted wedge heads. The rotating assembly is the eagle competition kit with the h beam rods and forged crank Im building the motor to be able to handle a supercharger in the feature so I want to buy parts that I can use now and then. I dont want to buy one intake then have to swap it off for another in a few years. By the way its staying fuel injection. I was looking at the Holly System max 2 and or the edelbrock Victor 5.0. What do you guys recommend to be better and why and if theres others I should be considering please let me know. I want to get the intake asap so I can send it out to get ported and gasket matched with the heads. Also would 3 inch tail pipes fit with a 275 rear tire? Because I really want to do 3in exhaust but no dumps I want tailpipes.

make compression low so you can run adequate boost and systemax II will give you best of both worlds but intake often runs hand in hand with cam choice
