***Need some advice on Bolt on Upgrades*** Good evening gentlemen, so I just got my 02 bone stock Camaro SS M6 with 15K miles, and gonna be a DD. I plan on doing some bolt ons and need some advice on some parts...So I live in cali, and not really worried about smog, that being said I plan on doing Pacesetter LT headers into a ORY pipe, (no cats) into a single SLP Loudmouth 1. So since my Camaro comes stock with an LS6 intake, this is where I need help... I don't know to much about throttle bodies and want to get a different one. I don't want nothing crazy because I just plan on doing bolt ons and MAAAAAAYBE a Cam in the future. But I want to know which TB I should get and also if you guys think I should get a SLP CAI kit.
So as of now I want to do
-Cold air intake
-Different throttle body
-Unsure if a should do a SLP MAF (will it make a difference?)
-Long tube headers with ORY pipe
-Just bought a MGW short throw.
I don't want to do anything else bigger than that, but any input would be great guys. Thanks in advance.

It proly wouldn't hurt to change out your thrmo. if you already havnt. mr gaskets aren't to bad and they opej at 160 instead of 180. And i favor the lake wood susspension and lowering kits. If you plan to run th 1/4. I can't help but if you like to take a corner at 60 then those folks have some nice strutts springs sways and traction kits. and you going to want to ditch that rack and pinion . sorry homies i know a lot of yall love that thing

Leave the throttle body and maf alone. You could port the throttle body but its such a small gain, I'd dave that money and put it toward a Fast 92 later on.
The SLP lid is a really nice piece.
As for headers, take a look at ours. They are really hard to beat for the price.

Kooks and American Racing headers are both stainless so you should never have to buy another set of headers. The fit and quality are also second to none (speaking for kooks personally, owned several sets).
I'd skip the LM1 for a DD. It's way too loud with an ORY and it gets old fast (lots of rasp too). Trust me. I don't know if I'd spend the money on a true dual setup for a DD though.
