Default Will this run well together??? (Intake)

Ok, so i plan on upgrading my Intake system here probably within 2 month's. Now this is what im thinking of......

- SLP Lid
- FTRA Kit
- SLP Smooth Bellow
- SLP MAF (maybe, unsure of at the moment)

Im not so sure about the MAF at the moment though. I replaced my stock MAF with anotha from Advanced Auto Part's back in November. It seem's like it's starting to act up like the 1st MAF that i replaced did, but im kinda thinking maybe it's because i havent tuned the car yet. Would that be the problem???

Other then that, would this be a good setup to run with??? I wanna make sure, im going with something good and that will work together. I dont wanna get all this together, and when it comes time to install. I need something else to make it fit properly & etc. I do plan on getting a Intake Manifold later on...

Stick with the stock MAF for now. Much easier to tune the car that way.
