Yea generally speaking, a dual plane is for engines built with a lower peak powerband. If you have a cam that requires you to take the engine above 6500 then a single plane would be in order. I think there is an article out there that compares the factory fuel injected intake to the GMPP dual plane and I want to say it made a pretty decent amount of torque on the low end and lost like 5-10 hp on the top end. I would consider the factory intake similar to a single plane, equal length runners with a large plenum area.
This is a bolt on intake and for its purpose, is perfect for this application.
I have seen that same article somewhere and they said flat out if you didn't want to deal with a wiring harness the carb option didn't lose any power over a efi ltxQuote:

Peoples inability to run them and get the right jets, air bleeds, squirters , float levels etc..set up right and the car runs like shit is there reasoning on blaming old technology
Efi. .. 400 in injectors. .. 2 to 4 thousand in after market computer wiring sensors and harness. .. sure the mags will sell that over a good 750 dollar carb.
The 2 carb cars I've driven being both 10 sec cars are pump gas street cars one being a 461 olds and another a 433bbc and they drive amazing. ... ones a holley and the other is a holley body with pro systems set up on it.
I will say it will pay to have a carb set up for your combo. ..
On.my neighbors olds we had an off the shelf carb on it that was dialed In Perfect with a wideband. .. we called up pro systems and had them custom make a carb and it picked up 15 hp at the wheels
