Personally I had my LT2 intake ported to help better match the 95mm TB, but even without that, a 95mm is still shown to have some improvement in power and throttle response over the stock 87. Its not huge, but better than nothing. Obviously porting the opening of the LT2 intake to open up the 87mm restriction is the best move when pairing it with a 95mm TB to optimize gains.
Idk I previously had msd with ported 87 on my 17 then went to unported 95 and didn't see any difference at 1/4 mile.

So much in fact that when I got my 21, I just went with ported 87 with LT2. Granted 17 was stick and 21 is auto but best et is .6 better and 1/4 is 1 mph faster on my 21. (same mods but do have ati balancer on 21).
