man i hope i made sence, it's to early

Go with ls6. Other have yet to be proven to make more hp. ls6 is proven. That, and a ported tb and you are good to go.

heat soak is not an issue that is worth crying about. LS6 is all you need for any N/A stock cubed LS1.

I have the BBK intake with a S2 tb, and I love it. I noticed an gain in torque and power. Probobly not alot without a tune but still noticeable, and it sounds so much more alive under the hood now. Even with the stock tune, it responds with no hesitations.

If you won't do the FAST 90/90, get the ls6 and port the throttle body.

Thought of something else, you could go with a ported LS2 intake, I think you have to change over the fuel rails with it, but you can put a 90mm tb on that too. Flows like a fast.
