Lid - any brand, they are all pretty much the same - I like MTI
Headers - stainless steel Kooks or QTP longtubes with an off-road y-pipe
Catback - try www.ls1sounds.com to see which one you like
Torque Converter - I hear they are a great mod, but I have an M6 and don't know jack about converters
Throttle body would be a good mod once you start doing significant power adders.
I wouldn't mess with the stock MAF at all.
I would scrap the Hypertech Power Programmer...they only work with a stock vehicle and even then they only work some of the time.

Just a thought on this....the BBK is about $300. You could get a ported stock throttle body that works just as well for half that price.
how much you going to spend? here's what i would plan on doing, if not today, then over the next little while.
1. lid-anyone will do
2. headers- you may want to go with Macs since you have sportlines, or kooks, pacesetter
3. off road y-pipe - unless you have emissions, then get one with carsound, random tech high flow cats
4. convertor - something in the 3200 range is very streetable, and will give you great gains
5. fast toys ram air - great mod for the money
6. ASP crank pulley - ditto
7. Cam, valvetrain - when you decide to make some good power
8. cat back - i would ditch the slowmaster and get a decent cat back like borla, CMMG, corsa, or true duals.
also, i would lose the hypertech, its not doing you any good unless you're just using it to change some settings like fan temps, shift points, etc.. the tune is junk. good luck and let us know what you decide.

oh, and i wouldnt mess with the MAF. The TB will be fine until you get a cam, then just get one that has been ported, dont waste your money on a BBK or something of that sort.
