My .02

Ditch the Granatelli crap, go with the LS6 intake and buy some tuning software and WB with the money saved.

Without a tuner the aftermarket MAF's are a problem--It takes hours of data logging and callibrating to get one right-THEN you only might gain 2-3 HP--Not worth the $$ or the effort
I would go with the LS6 manifold--best all round choice--If you happen to score a Fast cheap--they are good too- but new the cost is outta site--

Save your money until you get H/C or full exhaust. Then think about the intake manifold as thats the only time you'll gain worthwhile power ($/HP).

If you wait until you get into the motor the intake you choose will make a big difference.
