its all about how much money you want to spend.

if you want just something over stock, you can get an LS6 intake for about 400.

or you can drop 4000 on a custom fabricated sheetmetal intake, or an individual throttle body setup.

and there are varying levels in between. most guy wanting the most out of an intake will get the FAST90/90mm TB setup, ported. you can probly get that for about $1500.

Port the stock throttle body, leave the manifold alone, and leave the car that way untill you're making 450rwhp. Then you can think about something bigger. Untill then, spending money on a manifold/TB could better be spent on other stuff.
