Intake/TB stock cam?
Its a C6 LS2 A6 car has intake, corsa catback with xpipe, dyno tune, and 3.42 gears.
any good intake manifold/Throttle Body that are worth the money on stock cam
any other bolts on worth doing besides headers or stall?
maybe 160 t-stat?

You can go to a FAST, or, you can have your stock intake ported. There are a couple of reputable guys on the forum that specialize in intake porting, which is about a quarter of a FAST intake. I have an 07' and I had my intake ported and got very good results.
It would help to know where you are.

I picked up about a tenth of a second at the track with a ported LS2 intake from LS2Portworks but that was with a cam, headers and Vararam so you'd probably see less of a difference but still possibly noticeable.

There are several mods that I like to think of as being "complementary" in that they don't do a whole lot on their own but do help increase the performance of other mods like heads and cams, as an example.

My heads and cam are stock, but have CAI, ported TB, TB spacer, ported intake, ZO6 exhaust system and a tune. Together, they gave me 40 RWHP. 1/8 mile times went from 8.65 to 8.3.
