Lsx Vs. Ls6??

I have an LS6 intake right now. What I want to know is would it be worth going to an LSX 78mm??? What kinda of gains would I see with the mods in my sig. below. I'v heard several diffrent things so I just wanna know what experiances you guys have had.
Thanks in advance

With a 78mm, I would say maybe 5 RWHP, give or take 1 or 2. Get the 90, you will get a lot more, especially with the size of your cam.

the swap from the ls6 to lsx 78mm is not worth the price of the unit. Sine you have a cam and a sweet motor, go for the 90mm.......it will give your cam the necesary air flow and when you get new heads, the gains will keep on going up!!! look for 15-20hp with the 90mm.

So even with my stock cubes I'll get some hp with the 90mm more than will the 78mm? Will I need to swap out TB also? What kinda gains am I going to be looking at with the 90mm more or less?
