Default Bought Kooks Headers

I recently purchased 1 3/4" kooks. I'm keeping the z ti. No cats either on the x pipe. Question is. Should I wait to upgrade the tb and intake to do the dyno? Or would the ls6 top end be good enough for the motor? Thanks.

if you have stock heads/cam it would be a waste of time to swap the throttle body/intake manifold

I did an engine swap last year. Has an ls2 forged bottom end w/cam. Top ls6 w/ head work. AFE cai. McLeod twin disc clutch. Rebuilt diff. And am now installing the Kooks. Just asking if it's worth it without the intake and tb upgrade or if this should be enough without going f/i. Thanks again
