I think with your combo only making 540Hp, that might be a bit of a lose with the intake, and if you're going to get the correct aftermarket intake, get the oval port as it WILL work better all things considered.

I probably would have went with the original intake you got, blasted it back to raw aluminum, and ground of the name. BUT we also didn't get cam specs either.

I made about more than 220+Hp more with my 198 OEM ported dual plane on my 475 then what your motor is making! So you know you can make lots of power with a dual plane. </div></div>
A ZZ572 is making 620hp out of the crate. Why would I lose with the same intake? Because I'm 80hp less? I'm not sure you understand what I'm really trying to accomplish. I currently have an Edelbrock Performer with spacers for an intake. Not ideal. I would need a slip collar dizzy to make it work also. Waste of money IMO. If you can find a single Oval Port intake for a tall deck block for less than a pound of flesh, I'm all ears. I can't find a single one. They are all rectangle ports and this is what appears to be my best option. Most of the others are purpose built for Dart &amp; Brodix heads etc.
In the end, I'm not really worried about gaining anymore HP/Tq right now. If I tried to use what this one will put out in it's current form, my stock 12 bolt will wheel hop itself to death.
Don't misunderstand me. I appreciate all the comments and opinions. I just want to make sure we're on the same sheet of music.
