the battle between skunk2 and JG begins. id go with JG because the intake runners are longer. for TB's, check out bbk. or you can get a b-series TB and port match it to the manifold. a lot cheaper and you'd end up with a bigger bore.

"Best" - I don't like that word

What do you want from changing the IM, also, you going FI or staying N/A?

As always, get whichever is cheapest

For a cheap solution go with a y8 manifold and a b-series throttle body and port match the manifold inlet to 60mm.

i'd rather have a z6 im over a y8,
the y8 just looks like it flows well.

an aftermarket IM would have some gains there..

i would go with an aftermarket manifold. i remember seeing some dyno comparisons a while back and the y8 manifold made very minimal gains over the z6 manifold. i say go with a manifold with short runners to help out top end, and get a turbo with a .48 turbine to keep power in the midrange.

i had put a b18 tb on my z6 manifold, and it helped out with throttle response. plus it was only like 50 bucks. good deal in my opinion.

If you still want to upgrade, go with Skunk2 or JG Edelbrock. Both are great intake manifolds.

If you have the money, do ITB's off a GSXR bike. But, with ITB's, tuning is definitely needed. Definitely needs to have a different ECU or a piggyback to control all sorts of aspects such as air fuel, crossover points, etc...
