Are you asking if your mods are too big for a stock TPI intake? Yes. Heck, the stock heads/cam are too big for the TPI intake! The ZZ4 cam (exact same as ZZ3) is quite nice for a mild to moderate 350 TPI, in my opinion. I used one in my car with L98 heads, and the stock ported intake, and made 285 HP. Mods are in my sig.

If you can afford it, get yourself an aftermarket TPI intake like from Edelbrock, Accel, or TPIS. All you really need is the intake manifold, and port match your runners and plenum. Or, you can port match your stock intake manifold.
