Running the SuperRam upper intake (plenum/runners) with the SDPC Vortec TPI intake?

I'm looking at options to help the Hot Cam in my crate engine breathe more, and I was looking at the Super Ram-- but it's not drilled for the Vortec heads like the SDPC intake that came with the crate engine. According to Lingenfelter's website the plenum/runner kit bolts to the stock L98 intake, so since the SPDC intake is patterned after the stock intake, I don't see any reason why the combination wouldn't bolt up?

That's the link to the intake manifold I speak of, although I'm sure most everyone on here is familiar with it.

From what I hear, it can be done (SuperRam with SDPC base)... Some work is needed.. OMINOUS_87 would be the guy to talk to, I think he did a write up on it before (might try searching for it)..

What is the size of the runners, inside the SDPC base?
How does that compare to GM-stock, Tpis,etc?
