Thumbs up LS2 TBSS Intake vs 6.0 LQ9 Truck Intake

Im trying to do a little upgrade and not break my bank by jumping on a FAST. I have a 2006 GMC Sierra Denail w/a LQ9. Is the TBSS LS2 intake gonna be better all around hp/tq gains compaired to the LQ9 truck intake? I know the TBSS intake is a 90mm tb on it vs the 78mm on the LQ9. Just trying to basically weigh my options if it is worth buying it opposed to the FAST.

Current Truck Specs
2006 Sierra Denaili
LQ9 w/a custom tune
Air Raid CAI
Corsa exhaust

soon to be...
Lunati custom cam
2 stage LSx Plate 200 shot...
AES 317 stage 3 heads

I don't think it is an upgrade vs. the truck intake. Many people blindly assume the truck intake is bad when it is better than the LS1 and nearly as good as the LS6 and most reading says an unported LS2 is a step backwards from an LS6.

Another option might be a later model truck intake I think those have a little larger TB.
