switch to LT1 intake for boost?

just wondering what your opinions on this are. keep the TPI and port runners/manifold or switch to the LT1 intake? considering boost is all in the intake of air and the LT1 intake is supposed to flow better, was wondering if there's a significant advantage to using an LT1 intake on boosted engines. Thanks.

you will only raisethe rpm band up higher and will need to also have a larger cam to match

only main difference is that you will be able to make your horsepower goal at a lower psi setting than if you used TPI

i was going to prove all of this but decided against it because TPI is just too much of a PITA next to the superram of course
