Which Carb. set up?

Looking for more power rather then a race engine I am wondering which setup would do me best or equal. Cam is 448" lift with 112* lobe sepration. Head has 1.84 intake valves and 1.5 ex valves. Headers wth 3" single exhaust. (this could change to dual 2.25") Getting ready to add some type of carburetor set up. My options are: 1.Useing stock intake and adding adapter to use a 2v carb 2. Getting an aftermarket intake and using a 2v carb or 3. Using a aftermarket intake using a 4 barrel carb. I know it's easy to say a 4 barrel carb but I am not sold yet if that is my best way. Looking for reason's to use a certain carb setup.

www.fordsix.com/forumsGo there and do some more research. Straight up from everything that I have read, go with an aftermarket intake/header reguardless of what you can find for your stock manifold. Its just not worth it.

Besides, what would be the point of adding more air/fuel(2bbl or 4bbl) and still using the same restrictive stock intake manifold?
