Default trying to decide what to with ls6 intake

98 z28 a4. Mods are SLP lid, 160 thermostat, Texas speed long tubes with rumble x true duals, 3.73 gear and ls6 intake. Trying to decide if I wanna port stock throttle body or send intake to tpis and get 90 mm throttle body. I know some of you will say get a Fast but that's not the answer I'm looking for. I already have the ls6 so I'm using it either way. Is a 90mm gonna help with only these mods or is it too big and gonna hurt me?

IMO, wait until you have a High stall TC,and H/C.
Then if you still want to go with the TPIS 90 conversion, go for it.

I would say that when the tuner says that the intake has ran out of air would be time to put on the larger TB. Get a ported stock throttle body for decent response.
