Default Ported TB new MAF?

I'm assuming I will need a new MAF sensor if I get my throttle body ported am I right? If I do then what MAF should I look at getting? Anyone with any opinions on this matter? I'm also doing a 224/228 cam, LS6 heads, valvesprings and double roller.

Thanks

Another vote for stock MAF.

If you wanted you could put colored anodized MAF ends. No point changing stock MAF if it still works. Its not a restriction. Well not yet anyway.

Awesome thanks guy! I was just worried that by not putting in a different MAF that the computer would freak out due to the change in air flow. Last thing I want is a car that runs like **** because the computer "thinks" it's receiving too much air
