LT2 intake, what else is recommended?
I just got an LT2 intake (unported). My plan was to run it with stock TB, but my shop told me I should retune. My mods are in my sig, I'm basically full bolt ons and E85 aside from this intake. I don't think ported LT2 is worth my investment and neither is any TB. However, my shop wants $450 to retune so now I'm asking myself what other mods would be worth it before I retune?

Hi! If you're already rocking full bolt-ons, E85, and the stock throttle body, a retune could be worth it. But before you drop $450 on it, think about other mods that could sweeten the deal. Upgrading your exhaust, fuel injectors, or intercooler could crank up your performance even more
 It's your call, though.

Maybe something small like spark plugs and/or spark plug wires?

After the LT2 intake manifold and headers(I assume you got), the next step is heads and cam setup but after you slap that on you should be around 480-490rwhp. Check out my build thread below for all what I done but I’m still on a ported stock TB. Next stage for me is MSD/103tb if I want to burn a hole in my wallet

I know heads and cam are the next big thing, but it's gonna be a while before I'm ready for that. Just trying to think of anything else. Is it worth porting this LT2 and going with like a LT5 TB? Seems most say it doesn't really gain much so just debating what else I can do before I install the LT2 intake and get a retune. Heads and cam will have to wait for next year.

From this current thread it seems that LT2 is worth it but porting not so much. Im running setup similar to yours Daily and debating the LT2 and cam. https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=616381
