Best induction sys./Lid/Cai

I have a 4' cowl hood so clearence issues arent a factor for me. In my quest to to hit 330 at the tires with bolt ons and very light head and intake work Ive decided to switch to a LT1 TA ram air cai, a LS1 TA cai or just a LS lid. THe LT1 and LS1 camaro ram air setups suck as far as the bends and twists in the routing. Esp. the LT1, the LS isnt as bad but i think there are better choices that will interupt airflow as much. Def. think I will make the most power with LT1 ws6 ram air or a lid with a flopac setup/smooth bellow setup.

Do you guys feel the same way or am I just out there? From the looks of it those would be my best two choices. Anything else i should be looking at?

I have read about ls cars and know that they dont really like SLP's flopac. But do any of you guys think it may be a good option for me because i am converting over?

I know the few LS lid conversions on here were complete hack jobs aside from one or two who did clean work. Does anyone have any advice about it?
Should i just get a lid and smooth bellow?

Which setup should i go with?
Which lid company?

Just looking for some direction. Thanks

Any lid is fine and any lid is better than most other intake setups.

I would make that decision by what will fit and price. If both fit, I think their performance is similar and I would go with the cheaper option.

Well i have a 4 inch cowl, so anything will fit. (i think) I am really trying for 330rwhp (boltons+ light head and intake work) and need everything last little bit of it.
I am pretty sure i can find something used so even a ram air from a ls1 ws6 would be cheap in the FS section.

I just want the best design, which will provide the most power.
