The biggest wiring issue to consider is what to do with the electronic throttle control? The Altezza doesn't use a physical throttle cable, instead it uses a stepper motor to control the throttle butterfly in conjunction with a sensor on the gas pedal. This seems like it would be an absolute nightmare to deal with.

Now, since you have to use the redtop manifold anyway, you won't have the Altezza throttlebody. What problems this will cause with the Altezza computer? I have no idea.

Anyway, if i'm going to have to overcome issues like this (and canabalize an expensive redtop motor in the process) it better be for more than 10hp. Figuring out disastrous wiring and sensor issues like this would be worth it for a 300hp 2grfse maybe.

So, get yourself and red/greytop, some mild performance parts, and call it a day.
