Get the LS6 intake, probably the best budget intake out there at the moment. As far as adding a ported throttle body on top of this, it shouldn't require a retune, but to get the maximum benefit out of any mod dealing with the engine it can be very beneficial to do so.

The LS6 intake and the Z06 intake are the same thing. Unless you are doing a heads/cam swap then stick the LS6

Do it once and be done with it if your budget allows it. Ported FAST 90 ... dpends on how radical you end up going with modding your car.

yes, if you plan to do wild cam and heads, go ahead with the FAST/NW 90/90, but if you plan to stay mild for any period of time, stay with an LS6. the 90/90 will show minimal gains on a stock motor and might actully hurt performance because it will be overwhelming the cylnders.

I'd go with the ls6 unless you're going with a monster h/c combo or big cubes.

For most setups the LS6 is enough.
