Default LS2 with 90mm TB or LS6 intake???

Ive got an LS2 intake thats brand new. Im going to swap to the car intake since it looks so much better. I would need to buy a NW 90mm TB for the LS2 intake. Would it be better to just get the LS6 and keep my current TB?? I would think that the 90mm LS2 with 90mm TB would make more power than an LS6 with 75mm TB (and look better). What do you think?? Im going to be going with the 60 mototrons as well and may keep the truck rails if I cant find the 97 Corvette rails.

Doesn't the 90mm have a different bolt pattern then the 75mm. I think it uses 4 bolts instead of 3?!

I scanned an intake comparison from Street Thunder magazine a while back that compared several intake variations. Here they are...

yep, reason for winter as long as the trans holds up to the power. im probably going worked over 243 castings, fast 90/90, would likd to get 11.5 CR, and possibly along with a direct port nitrous setup

i want a good solid 11 NA slip and then a 10s slip as long as **** holds up if it doesnt then stock LQ9 will or LS2 will drop in there
