Any power gain to be had by switching to a slightly larger MAF? Like an 85mm MAF?

the 78mm intake opening size would be the restriction .most people just get a ported stock TB.you can try to port out the intake opening.

So that's the reason people upgrade intakes. What about the LS2? Would I have to switch to a DBW setup?

You'll Only see a few horsepower up top from a LS2 and it's not a direct swap.
