Since your profile indicates you have a 2001....
Your car came stock with the same intake manifold, same throttle body, same fuel rail, and same injectors. (ALL 01-04 C5 and Z06 shared those same parts).
The filter housing is the only thing different.

Well, you should have asked this before buying...but at least now you can still sell the stuff without going through all the work of swapping identical parts. 
The "LS6" (01/later) intake manifold is still a good upgrade for 97-00 owners. It is is an easy sell.
The throttle body...they are all the same from 97-04.
The fuel rail is the same from 99-04 (non-return style - single fuel line to it).
The 28# injectors are all the same, excepting 99-00 model years. Those two years came stock with smaller 26# injectors...so some can consider them a slight upgrade, but PCM tuning changes are needed to change injector size.
The Z06 airbox (filter housing) is the only Z06-specific part you have.

You really need to get the engine itself to move more air before worrying about the manifold. The stock "LS6" one is a pretty nice piece, and will work continue to work very nicely even on an aggressive heads/cammed car.
If you don't have headers...those would be a better suggested upgrade for a stock or mostly stock engine, and will set yourself up for future mods where they become considered essential.
