I am no expert by anymeans but it really depends on budget, if you are looking for inexpensive L92 seem to do pretty well from what i have read, and then you can run ls3 intake.

I have an LQ9. I went with the best combo I can find. Lingenfelter CNC LS3 heads, FAST LSXR 102mm intake, and a short duration/high lift agressive, yet mild Comp Cam.

It can be cable or drive by wire, it depends on what throttle body you bolt on to it.

I have a 90mm DBW on mine for now, I may pick up a 102mm some day.
