Default Should I Upgraded my TB

I have a 99 T/A with SLP Lid, cold air induction, LS6 intake, Full exhaust. But with stock TB and MAF. Should i get a bigger TB and MAF or just a bigger TB and would it be much of a difference.

I would just go with a ported TB sponsors on the side, they all have some nice pieces. I got mine from Lingenfelter.

I'm soon going with an LS6 intake and I'm going to have Cammin BeaSSt work my stock TB. Should be pretty when all is said and done!

I was thinking about using Thunder Racings Ported MAF Ends seen here... http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...vid=3&pcid=179
Should I stay away from these all together? Or should I only buy them if I plan on tuning afterwards?

Honestly I have read enough "horror stories", so to speak, about messing with the MAF and see plenty of people running exceptionally well without worrying about the MAF that I basically plan to (and have) completely leave it alone. I'd just steer clear of the MAF. Period. Plenty of other things you can buy that are wholly proven. I may be a little paranoid, but so be it.

Ported & Polished TB is the way to go. But no matter what dont mess with the MAF. Too many headaches can happen when you go messin with it.
