Intake manifold dilemma

[nibs]

Hey guys, so Im in a bit of a tough decision right now and I thought maybe some of you could shine some knowledge or advice my way so I can make the better choice of the two...

Im in the process of getting my LQ9 ready for install into my truck and Im at the point to where Im getting all the small things finished up and slating out my purchases. I have a complete LQ9 from an Escalade that I recently bought from a friend of my father in law. Im not going to tear it apart because it is in running condition, so there is no real need to. Prior to buying this engine, I already had a few parts in my garage including 243(LS2) heads, LS2 intake manifold, and a nice new cam. When I acquired the new engine, it came with a GM performance 4 bbl style manifold.

To be honest, I cant decide which intake manifold to use! Im planning on running the MSD AtomicEFI system, and they arent making it any easier to make my decision... They make a system that is a carb style replacement and they also make a setup that has the fuel rails that works with the traditional LS manifolds.

I like the 4bbl style manifold for its classic looks, and the different style than alot of people have done with LS swaps. The negative side that Im worried about is the killer of low end power that they are...

Does anyone have any thoughts to add to my Pro/Con list? I would really appreciate your help!
