Default TB and Plenum - Together?

Should I upgrade both of these at the same? Can I do one now and one later? Do I need to change anything else like the MAF? I have the stock on there now.....

You can do it either way. You will see larger gains out of the plenum. And you can run a stock or aftermarket maf, both will work.

What is the stock size of both and what size should I go up to on the stock engine?

From what I see it doesn't hurt to go with the 75....I found a seller on Ebay who "ports" the stock ones....is this OK? I'm really torn now between a cat-back exchaust and the TB/plenum combo...they both cost about the same....I can do one this summer but the other would have to wait until next year....

porting them would be good on the plenum, but cant really port the tb. a local shop can probly port the plenum if thats what you decide. I would go with the exhaust then. and get the tb/plenum later.

id go with the exhaust. youd probably see slightly more gains from the tb/plenum...but nothing all that noticeable...and the exhaust would give you maybe half that power, sound INCREDIBLE, and maybe even increase your gas mileage.
