The stock one should be fine unless you have done some serious major changes to the engine intake.

Don't see any reason why the stock one wouldn't work fine. Really unless you completely custom built something you shouldn't have an issue.

i disagree with your choice to buy a throttle body and expensive intake... waste-o-money

I heard throttle body's are a good addition especially when you have the upper intake matched which is what i did.. as for the intake.. well 150 isnt all that expensive and i have heard that the cheaper 50.00 intakes rust and the plastic/rubber pieces get rot or something on them and it looks horrible after a while so i opted for a brand name intake that from what i have heard has all good reviews..
