The LS6 is a much better intake and is a direct bolt on. You will need some extra parts to make the LS2 work, and you won't really make any gains to speak of.

Some mag (Hot Rod I think) did a dyno test ls6 vs ls2 the only change was the intake, and the ls6 was the better performer, so sell the ls2 and get the ls6

The LS6 intake manifold will accommodate a 75mm TB. You don't need a 90mm TB, nor will it fit the LS6. A ported stock TB would be perfect.
