With GSR runners is probably the best you will find. If you need the cast look, then go with the JG/Edelbrock VictorX.

I have seen little to no evidence to back up the hype behind the AIR. All evidence that I have seen, seems to say that the "outflows ITB's" claim is an overstatement.

From what I have seen it is about equal with the VictorX, which is waaaaay cheaper. A JG sheetmetal with GSR runners would probably out-perform it at half the price as well.
