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.

You didnt give enough information for us to give you any good answers, therefore you get no answers.

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.

102mm intake would that still be drive by wire

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.
