Default Dumb Question

I have twins on my c5. Puttin down about 800-850. I am doing this thru stock ls6 manifold . question is if i get a tpis conversion to a 90mm tb how much gain can i expect. running around 15 lbs now. i feel my tb and perhaps intercoolers are the new bottlenecks.

I would be more concenrd about the possible leaks from the epoxy job, if you absolutely need a 90mm tb then maybe get an ls2 intake

The chances of the LS6 and stock TB being any restriction worth worrying about is almost zero. No idea what intercoolers you have so who knows in that regard.
