Default single or dual plain intake and cam recommendations

91 gt 306 5 speed going carb.got a few questions. current set up is 306 roller block, stock e7 heads(for now).trick flow cam, bbk unequal length shorty headers going into a 3" off-road xpipe into 2.5" flowmaster cat back.
Im use to dual plane intakes but was looking at the parker funnel web, would it be a good choice to get a intake like that or stay with a 1500-6500 dual plain? I know single plains are good for top end but would I still be able to punch 1st gear and smoke the tires?
also what cam would be a good choice for my set up.i heard Anderson's cams are good but I was looking at the specs of the frp x-cam and seemed good for me

I'd wait till you upgrade the heads before doing an intake swap. No matter what intake is on it......., the heads are only going to flow so much air.

offenhauser 5493 good hood clearance , not really a single or dual plane ,technically it is dual but unlike most others it feeds left right not inner outer . funnelweb looks awesome but need compression and more cylinder head.
I ran offy with f303 and 750 holley double pumper, pretty good torque, great throttle response perfect for a manual car
