Thank you

My other run wasn't that great. My backend slipped out from under me at launch and I didn't get a great 60. Still got 15.5 and better than the '14s and later model 5th gen 6'ers

Minimal horsepower gains, much better throttle response.

i think it sort of depends on multiple factors. i don't think just increasing throttle body size automatically delivers that much more power.

If you haven't gotten the isolator yet, I highly recommend

Remember the isolator is for the 10-11 V6. I think there is a spacer for the LFX now from Jac-Fab

Correct. LFX can't take an isolator. Or headers, or ported manifold... Or anything.... Hahaha
