Default What should i use with my ls6 intake?

Hey, i just painted my ls6 intake and fuel rails. Im getting ready for the install and was wondering what i should use with it. I have a slp lid. Should i just keep the same fuel rails or get better ones? Also what T/B and MAF should i get? Do i need to upgrade or what? thanx

you cant put a nick williams 90mm on a stock ls6 manifold. the best thing to do is get a ported and polished one, or do port and polish it yourself. The fuel rails are up to you, you could polish them to make them look better, but buying a whole new set wont improve anything but looks.

Save the money from the fuel rails and TB, do the port and polish yourself it's not hard and get a set of ported MAF ends or cut the center and descreen your MAF, then use that money for exhaust or suspension.

Port your TB, paint the fuel rails, and descreen the maf as stated by others is your best route.

Nick Williams 90mm TB won't work on an LS6 intake and the stock maf descreened is his better choice.
An SLP 85mm Maf and NW 90mm TB would be a good choice with a FAST 90/92.
