Default Buying mods, have question

I am planning on putting an slp smooth bellows and an 85mm tb on my car soon, and was wondering if it would be worth while. I have the 85mm lid and maf. I was also wondering if that should just bolt right up to my ls6 intake mani or not. I have heard it would, but i'm not sure.

So if I just left my stock crinkle pipe(thats what I call it) on there, I would still get the optimum performance out of my lid, maf, and tb?

if you ever plan on changing the intake manifold later (fast), then id wait on the t/b, if not then go for it
