Advice on TB and MAF
Ok i have a stock 1998 ls1, i have purchased LS6 intake, cam, heads, new timing chain ect. All i need now is a LS6 intake and MAF. I found some on ebay that are ported along with factory ls1 MAF ported. what do i need to get the best performance without sinking a ton of money into these two items? The MAF on ebay would let me retain my factory harness, there about $50 w/ core. Any advice will help, thanks in advance.

A larger TB will likely help you a bit, but the larger MAF isn't going to do much except make your wallet lighter...You could look at a Shaner ported TB ($125) http://www.s2performance.net/vettepage.html

I would be suspicious of a 'ported' LS6 manifold. I haven't heard about these being ported much due to the fact that it's hard to get inside these and port them. If it is indeed ported I would buy one that has been ported by a reputable shop. i.e. Cartek, Vengence, Tony Mamo, etc. There are a ton of porters out there, not all of them get great results. I ported my 75mm throttle body, and I got good results, but that doesn't make me a porter. I'm sure you know, but I'll remind you that 'porting' doesn't necessarily translate into higher performance, especially if not done properly.
