I took a quick look at MidAmerica to see what sort of cold air inlets are available for the early C4 and only found one available through them - the SLP package.
Ecklers has a different system from BPP.
That may limit your options.
Do you have a particular cold air package in mind that you want an opinion about?

PS
I don't want to start another 160 degree thermostat debate.
Flow straighters would be a more interesting debate.
What are you having done?Good stuff! I'm having a total rebuild done so I now have some additional questions to ask! With the new heads I want to make sure enough air gets in to get as much performance as I can for the money.

What are you having done?
"New heads" rebuilt or flowed?
There is a lot of changes required; are you buying a kit or using a 400 crankshaft? That requires turning journals down to 350 size and re-balancing. There is a lot of "stuff" which needs to be done.
DrDyno,
Cool mod!
Don't know if it qualify's as the "best", but I am very happy with the SLP Tri-pod intake I put on my 96 LT1. We installed it while the car was hooked up to the dyno, and it showed 17 h.p. increase alone.
My heart does, again and again, as I hit the fun pedal!can make the rings flutter
