I would say FTRA, a good lid & hi-flo filter, stock maf, stock TB, and an LS6 intake (without egr).

There might be HP to be found with a modified maf and/or TB, at least temporarily. The problem of unmetered airflow doesn't seem to make those mods worthwhile when you try to tune without really knowing how much air is flowing. Others will disagree <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> .

I am very happy with my ftra, k&n filter,lid, LS6 maf, and ported tb. An LS6 intake is on the way soon. My set up has worked great.
