LSX intake manifold I have a 2000 camaro ss and i was wondering if the LSX intake manifold was one of the best or if someone has another one in mind? Also if the LSX is one of the best would i want a 90mm or a 78mm?

LSX is top of the line but there are two general rules of thumb about them.
1). 78mm is a waste of time. If you're going to do it do the fast 90 with a 90MM throttle body. That'll cost ya about $1200 which moves us along to number two.
2). Gains are minimal over a LS6 intake for a bolt-on car. And you'll probably need to dyno tune the car (another $350-500) to get those minimal gains.
If you are going to get a decent size cam (or better still heads and cam) in the future then the fast 90/90 setup is worth its weight in gold. Many heads/cam cars have gained 10-20 rwhp over the ls6 intake. But for a bolt on car just get a used or SLP LS6 intake and call it a day.

stock cobras are LUCKY to hit 12.7...my really good friend has intake/exhaust 04 cobra @ 12.5....if im not mistaken, full bolt on ls1s are right there too. ****...i know someone with a SOM ws6 with just full exhaust and 3600 stall, and hit 12.2 on ET streets.
