Thats right, a throttle body would be a waste with your intake manifold. Do your exhaust and maybe a lid. But you shoud wait on the throttle body. In fact i would go as far as to say start with the intake manifold or the exhaust first.

Yeah, I wouldn't call the SLP packages junk. I also saw an article in High Performance Pontiac where they installed each package one at a time and the car did very well for the mods. If you plan on doing more down the road then get the parts that you need right now only, though.
