Port your own throttle body or send it out and have it done. There are a couple of guys on here who port them for $50-100. Aftermarket TB's are not worth the money. As for the MAF, an aftermarket one is not worth the money either. You could descreen your stock one though...some guys say it isn't good to do this, but I haven't had any issues.
Do the WOT mod to the TB too, I think it helped mine noticably.

I call it wot mod, others call it bump stop mod I believe. It is basically grinding down the throttle body casting where the throttle lever hits at wide open throttle. This allows the throttle plate to open further to allow more airflow in. If you get carried away and go too far it will set a TPS high voltage code when you do a wot snap. It is a pretty easy way to gain a little and it's free. All I used was a flat file. I think I had a blister by the time I was done and it took about 30-40 minutes to do.

like stated your not near the level that you need to be going big with the maf or tb....port the tb and leave the maf alone...
