Default different intake?

Ive heard that tpi is not the best intake. I am planning on switching over to a zz4 engine, but was wandering what kind of intake I should use with it. What other intakes are out there that will work besides tpi and carb. Would it be hard to convert to carb in an 89 vette. I know the zz4 can be purchased with a carb, but would that work with an 89 vette without having to make any other major modifications to the car to make it work?

any engine that has the potential for better breathing needs an intake that outperforms the TPI set up; my recommendation is always the mini-ram by TPIS if your budget allows it.
