It's rather confusing to say the least--I think the C5 and Z06 t-body is the same---75mm--but the intake manifold size is 78mm--same on both as well---I was told this --no one seems to know for sure--but I measured the 2 and they were the same --unless they had been switched

The Z06/LS6 TB is identical to the C5/LS1 TB... the 3mm difference is likely the difference between the side facing the bridge and the side facing the intake manifold, but thats just a guess. Bottom line, both TB's are exactly the same.

Not really.
Ported/Polished stock TB is about all you want to do with a relatively stock engine. It's not good for any HP as much as it will give you a better throttle response. An LS6 intake manifold will go a long way in the future though, even with heads/cam setups or FI later on. Right now with tuning, the LS6 intake would give you ~15 whp. No point in going with a bigger TB until you are running some big hp over stock.
