Default Iron LS2 need more air?

I'm building a iron LS2 for my 2001 t/a the motors stats are in the sig for the 01 TA but it is as follows:

2011 ly6 6.0 iron block/LS2 flat tops/ 243 heads/ GM ASA cam/ TSP 17/8 LT's and ORY with borla catback. and a SLP blackwing lid and the stock LS6 intake.

With the above engine and mods and stock LS6 intake and blackwing lid will the stock TB and MAF be a limiting factor that needs to be upgraded or is it in a safezone to leave it as is.

I was thinking about jumping to the truck MAF but only if I need to.

This should be a fairly mild street driven motor that will never go to the track I'm not after dyno numbers but if stock parts are leaving a chunk of horsepower on the table I'll change them. (cam will not be swaped for other available cams)

A maf or TB will not have any affect on HP as long as you have that ls6 intake..

Run it as is, if your worried about needing more air then consider going to a bigger intake like a fast 102/102 combo..

Porting the TB, and doing a ram air mod would be benificial. If you're under 500 rwhp the stock MAF should be fine
