watch out for the maf, dont use one thats too big. I have more mods than you're talking about and a 75mm pro m maf took away some of my low rpm power. It helped on top end but the point is that its too big. I would reccomend a 70mm or 73mm maf. When I put my new heads on it wont be too big though

a 75mm maf is going to take away from your bottom end I would get a 70mm or 73mm maf unless you plan on some major mods later (like heads or a s/c). I think i am going to put my stock maf back on until i put my edelbrock heads on- thats how much of a diffrence it made.
