What is my weakest link now? MAF?

So basically I'll be ordering LT's w/ORY and they will exit through the cutout. I'm still running stock filter but after market lid, P&P TB and LS6 intake. I plan on spraying up to 150 shot so I imagine I'll be somewhere over 525hp at the engine. How far can I go before I need to upgrade my MAF or is there something else that will be choking the motor?

How do you figure 525? I think you're looking more in the range of mid 450s

He said at the engine. Given 15% drivetrain loss, that should be abour 445 rwhp

A lot of people run 90/90 set ups with the stock MAF, so I think you'll be fine there.

Your MAF isn't going to be seeing any more airflow than normal when it's on the gas. All that extra O2 is coming from the spray.
