You never need to upgrade the MAF. I've used the stock MAF on all of my cars with phenominal results. I wouldn't even upgrade the TB until you get a real mod like a camshaft.

A ported stock throttle body with the LS6 intake is a very worthwhile swap. You'll gain power (maybe 10-15, but it will feel like more) and increase throttle response.

I'd be pretty excited if you got a used LS6 intake, and then ported your existing TB. The MAF never needs to be changed, unless it ****s the bed.
