Just port and polish the stocker on your own unless you have some big cubes and big intake with some cam..

Save your money for some headers or some other mods.. maybe an LS6 intake if you're a pre-01

Definitely just P&P the stock one. Its free and you will see similar gains to buying a larger one with the stock intake.

stock intake only has a 75mm opening so anything bigger than the stocker is a waste of the money, just p&p that beotch!

Best bang for the buck should be getting your stock TB Ported & polished. Some of the aftermarket TB's are quite pricey.

Like everyone else has said, you can port your stocker or buy an aftermarket one. MTI sells a real nice piece that I use to have on my car before I bought a FAST 90 and Nick Williams. They sell the for $419.00 and they say MTI Racing on top of them and they claim 10 to 12 RWHP on 6 speed cam only car and they claim to flow nearly 1000 CFM.
