Default Intake selection with a 383/408 stroker

Hey all, I'm coming down to the last part of my part selection hunt. It's going to be a 351W stroker, with AFR 185's (205's if I don't keep EGR and thermactor), and a Novi 2000 blower. All I have to figure out is the intake and the camshaft (I THINK I'm going with something along the lines of CompCams 276HR [220/244 & .544/.560]). The point is this: this is going to be a daily driven car with an automatic transmission (modified AOD/E4OD), seeing a LOT of street action and some strip. Therefore, I need fair mileage and a decent amount of horsepower. I really want to keep the EGR on there, but if you haven't noticed, the intake selection for 351W's generally sucks!

Okay, that's my question: what's a good flowing intake that will allow me to keep emission controls on my Stang? My first thought is Trick Flow, but Edelbrocks have always been pretty dependable, too. The AFR heads will flow 280cfm out of the box, and with the blower....I just need an intake that can handle the airflow without absolutely killing the low & midrange. Somebody needs to make a medium-length, LARGE runner intake for 351W's. Help me???
