Default What TB and Intake do I need?

Noob question about intakes and TB's.....

I have an 04 Coupe. I was wondering what TB is the best after porting and polishing (LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6)...and what intake would it best match up with? Basically what combo of TB and intake yields the best HP with the best value? Thanks!

Bang for the buck or biggest gains...

LS6 Intake/TB will probably be the best bang for the buck. ~$375

Biggest gains, Ported NW90MM TB, Ported FAST90MM Intake. ~$1500

Middle of the road, Ported LS2 90MM TB, PORTED 90MM LS2 Intake ~$700ish

You already have the LS6 intake, no need to change it yet

Throttle body porting is a minimal gain at best with your current mods

Your best bolt on performance gains with the mods you already have will be a set of headers and a good tune

All 2001-2004 LS1 engines have the LS6 intake manifold.
