LT1 on stock L98 heads
Would I notice any performance increase on my 383 stroker if I put an LT1 intake on with my stock L98 heads compared to a stock TPI on stock L98 heads?
Thanks,

Your car will pull harder above 4500 rpm...and since you have a stroker, the slight loss of torque on the bottom end won't be felt too much.

To really benefit from the LT1 intake (and the hassle of modifying it), you need a good set of heads and a cam to go with it. Sure it will run harder up top than with the stock tpi intake, but the stock L98 heads and cam aren't the best either so you will run into their limitations pretty fast.
