Default Intake question.....

I have a good deal in the pipe for a 78MM fast LSX Intake and a 78MM MTI Ported and Polshied T/B. My current set up is a 2003 Z06 with a A&A votech kit 10PSI, LG Pro long tubes stock intake and T/B. Will i have any issues switching out the intake and T/B is it worth the time will I see any inprovement in HP? Will have any tune issues?

The LS6 intake is great for your setup and the MTI ported throttle body is a waste of money in FI application. They ported mine and I have had idle issues ever since. With N/A setup the FAST LSX would be a good upgrade but not worth the trouble in your case with FI, you have good setup already. FWIW, TB porting is best left up people who specialize in it, like Mark Shaner

IMO, you should not have any tuning issues with just changing intake. Good Luck with Your Mods
