TB + Intake Bolt-On Options

hey gang,
i was wondering if anyone out there had before and after dynos or track results with different TB and intake combos.
i know to get the most out of the engine i need to upgrade, jsut wondering how much. i have a 99 Z28, so plain old LS1 intake and still sitting on a stock TB.
what is worth spending the money on?
ported TB + LS6 intake?
78mm TB + ls6 intake matched to TB?
FAST 78/78?
FAST 90/90?

TIA for your help.

Your mods look pretty basic. Save your money and get a used Z06 intake and a ported TB, then call it a day. I have a Bo White ported TB and definitely noticed better throttle response.

Unless you are planning on doing h/c, just get and LS6 and P&P the stock TB. I've never dynoed my car so I can't give you a before after, but I'd like to get back to the track since I just installed an LS6 intake and P&P TB and see what new times I can get.

i was thinking along the lines of cleaning up whatever casting flash and such exist on a stock intake. porting isn't the exact right word, just all that i could think of at the time.

TPIS ports 02 LS6 intake's, they port them to 90mm and yes they port the runners as well . . . it's not something impossible
