Default Question on intake/tb setup

was wondering what combos all of you guys are running on your boosted F-Body applications for an intake and throttle body while retaining your stock hood and not cutting it up? I was going to use an Ls2 intake with a nick williams 90mm tb but it looks like they stopped making those.

Edit: will an ls3 intake accept a 92mm TB? I'm having an lq9 6.0 built and going with twin 67mm turbos

Your sig says LS7 heads, so you need an intake that works with those.

Don't spend a ton of extra money on that stuff, it hasent been proven to make any significant power gains over stock stuff for boosted applications
