Accufab is known for the best gains. A good set up is the accufab plenum with the c&l TB. But for the cost, you really dont gain that much of a noticable difference. That should be one of the last mods you do.

RE: Winter Upgrades
I bought that same setup from RPM outlet. I got the Accufab upper plenum, 75mm throttle body, and MAC straight shot. If I had to do it again, I would have gotten the C&L everything. The MAC straight shot doesnt fit well, I have to stretch the blue rubber elbow as far as it can go and tighten the pipe clamps or the peices wont fit together, there will be a gap between all the peices. MAC didnt design it well at all. As for the Accufab, its a quality product. But I have a problem with the RPMs, they seem to float. It hovers at like 1500rpm for a few seconds and then drop to 750rpm when I let off the gas, but thats may be my engine and something other than my plenum. But it only does it with the Accufab throttle body and plenum, I have just learned to deal with it. If you get the Accufab stuff great, I wouldnt get the MAC straight shot though, very bad fitting.

RE: Winter Upgrades
I am looking at the same rpmoutlet combo deals as you are. I have asked lots of questions about what to get. My understanding is that if you would get the C&L plenum (the rounded one) you should get a 75mm throttle body, not 70mm. The brand of throttle body doesn't seem that important.
If you go with the Accufab plenum, you should actually get the smaller 70mm throttle body, as the Accufab plenum works slightly better with the smaller TB, unless you plan to add a supercharger or turbocharger.
But like the Drunkenmaster69 below says, you are only dealing with minor differences.
I see that the Accufab TB & P is priced higher than any of the other combos if that is all you are getting. I don't know if it's worth $100 more. When part of the entire package, including filter and inlet tube, the prices are the same?????
The way I will be approaching it is deciding what "LOOK" you want under the hood. The different combos will give you different looks but apparently negligable performance differences.
I'm probobly holding off a few months and doing other appearance mods first.
Good luck deciding and let everyone know what you get and how you like it. I will do the same.

I had spoken to a techno-guy at C&L and he spent at least 5 minutes telling me how much better their TrueFlow Inlet pipes (funkily curved) were than any of the straight pipes, like the MAC straight shot. I think Airxtreme89's comments below seem to back that up. I want one that fits.
