Which TB and Intake? What is best intake and TB (size) for AFR 205's and 224/224 112 cam plus bolt ons? I know LS6 intake is best bang for buck, but will this restrict the above combination?

If cost is not an option, the FAST 90mm intake with a 90mm TB would make more power with your setup. If cost is an option, go with the LS6 intake with a ported/polished stock TB. Depends on what you want to spend...

I saw a discussion the other day that cited flow (in CFM) figures for the FAST and another intake, compared to stock & LS6. Net of it was that for most H/C packages, the LS6 was definitely the best bang for your buck. The LS6 may only flow 90-95% of what your heads flow, while the FAST flows 5-10% more than your heads - but at less than half the cost, it is clearly the better deal.
EDIT - When I say "your" heads, I mean any aftermarket heads, speaking very generally.
Does port/polishing the TB really do anything but enhance throttle response? I know on stock LS2's it does jack because the stock TB & manifold flow so well, but I'm still learning about LS1's.

But seriously dude, calm down. It's not that big of a deal and it happens all the time.

Yeh, settle down.. 
You can get an LS6 Intake (both of you, there are enough to go around.) here for around $325 shipped..
You can port/polish your own TB.. Bo White here does it for $75.. I was going to send him mine, but I thought - I'm about to do my own heads/cam install, I should be able to port my own TB..
I did it today but have not had a chance to get it back on the car..
