anyone ever try one of these intakes?

Edelbrock Performer 2114 Intake Manifolds ?
This is for the 96+ vortec heads I am thinking about bolting the vortec heads this intake and a TBI adapter (I already have the adapter) onto a 95 stock 4.3 using the TBI and a chip. Just curious if anyone had done this yet?
