Default Whats gonna be my best intake option?

One of my friends has an 05 GTO and he just put a FAST 90 setup on it. He is going to give me his stock LS2 intake for little to nothing. I was looking up what it will take to install and it looks like I'll need rails and an aftermarket tb since its throttle by wire. So thats easily $500 for the throttle body and rails, so I start to think, would it be better to sell the LS2 intake and grab an LS6 or L76? I don't want to have to rig stuff up or spend a ton of money to get a better intake working. I'd probably be looking at buying an intake / tb combo off ebay.

An LS6 intake & stock TB will make more power than an LS2 intake/90mm TB.

For me If I had to buy an intake I'd just get it over and done with and get a fast, If you had an ls6 intak allready I'd say send it off to tpis to make it a 90mm with a 90mm TB. But thats just because 3 to 400 buck to get 10 hp out of a ls6 is a waste $ wise in the long run 400 bucks for a ls6 then to make it a 90 400 bucks thats 800 buck as much as a fast. Of corse you need a tb for 500 also.
So what I'm saying in the long run ( if you plan on making your car faster) is the fast in your case would be a better option but thier are others out their for cheeper.
Just giving my opinion, money wise if it all you can afford the LS6 intake is a good option.
