I'd say MTI lid(and filter of course), Free Ram Air, Home ported MAF, SLP smooth bellows. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
...and the !EGR Mod until you get that LS6 intake.
If you haven't been to www.installuniversity.com yet, its got some great information and walk throughs of all kinds of mods.

Re: The Super air system If you're lookin into intake lids, check out the thread in here on the Texas Speed and Performance Lid. It looks like it could be the best intake yet, however it has yet to be dyno'd (as far as I know). Supposedly it rounds out the airflow from the back corners providing a better flow than any other lid... I'm waiting for proof... <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

Re: The Super air system I forgot to through the !MAF (remove MAF screen) in my intake setup. So if I were to create a new intake for my car it would go like:
!FRA + Holley Powershot filter + Texas Speed & Performance Clear Lid + !MAF + MAF Ends (M6 only) + Baker Hose + Bauer TB + LS6 Intake
!FRA + Holley Powershot filter + Texas Speed & Performance Clear Lid + !MAF + MAF Ends (M6 only) + Baker Hose + Bauer TB + LS6 Intake
