Are you tallking intake manifold or just intake setup as in filter, lid, MAF, etc.
If manifold:
Budget good for all setups (n/a, FI, boost)
-Ported stock TB and LS6 intake.
Expensive (maninly n/a but will work for other setups also)
-FAST 90 intake and NW or PTM 90mm TB (ported FAST 90 intake even better)
All other setups generally have some form of compromise for a street machine.

I assume you are talking about the intake (lid) setup judging by the fact that your sig says you have a voolant air kit but looking for something else?
If this is what you are looking for then this question is debatable. Cost effect IMO a lid is the best way to go. There are plenty out there including slp, whisper, mti etc etc and they pretty much all have the same horsepower output.
If talking about the intake manifold then the best bang for the buck is the ls6 as mentioned above.

Yes as far as complete intake setup, I would run an ls6 intake manifold, ported stock TB, and lid. That will add a great deal of hp to an otherwise stock car, and also be fairly inexpensive doing it.

he isnt even asking about that. there is a sticky at the top of the page that shows most of the intake manifolds dyno #s and a graph so you can choose the best for you. most popular will be non-metal intakes ls6/fast https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-external-engine/520845-mod-guide-induction-exhaust-please-read-before-posting.html
