One of the guys in our club is getting a ZZ4 Longblock for his 89 vette. Last night he ask me what intake or intake and runner combination would allow him the most HP with this motor. This motor with a carb puts out 355 HP and he would like to keep it as close to that as he can staying with fuel injection. I suggested a FIRST intake, is this correct or is there better.?...WW

The ZZ4 is only an improved ( stronger ) version of his existing L98 engine ; same 113 head , better cam and springs.
So manifold choice is no different than for L98
The FIRST has the best potential while still retaining long runner setup if he wants to go down that path

what about the new BBK or MiniRam?

The key is that the L98 TPI sucks, so you really don't wanna go there.

Miniram, Holley Stealth Ram, Superram or virtually anything but TPI is my recommendation.
