What are the plans for the car? If you are going to get heads and a cam a ported fast would probably be the ticket. If you are just gonna do minor bolt ons an ls6 would be a great option and wont cost you a lot.

BTW, you really can't port an LS6. There is minimal material to remove.

Sounds like you should go with an ls6, look for one in the parts classified. Its a great intake for the price. Look at getting your throttle body ported also!

if you are going to stay stock with bolt ons then a ls6 would be enough . i think the ls6 intake flows around 260 cfm so that would be enough for the stock heads .
from experience , people who are in the market for our kind of cars expect it to be quick . a fbody with heads , cam and a fast intake would sell quicker , for better money than a stock bolt on . just my .02
