Ok I currently have a ported stock plenum, a slightly modded throttlebody (the inside edge was grinded out) , stock maf, mac fenderwell cai...
I'm thinkin of getting this stuff: c&l intake plenum , maf , inlet tube , accufab throttle body (70-75mm ?) ...

Now my question is this... Should i get all of it or just the throttle boddy and maf, inlet tube?
I'm wondering if the c&l plenum is that much better than my ported stock one.. I know the mac could be replaced also the t-body, so what do you alll think?

if you have the cash, get the plenum and throttle body i wouldnt get the MAF, just get a good tune instead.
i have the C & L Plenum and Accufab 75mm TB and i am very pleased with them.

I agree with 1990StangLX, if you have the funds then get it all. I have the C&L Plenum with a BBK 70MM throttle body with a MAC cold air kit. It really makes a big difference past 3500 RPMs. I am waiting for the cash to get the MAF kit and inlet pipe. Someone on here posted a gain of 20RWHP and 27RWTQ with the whole kit. To me that is definately worth it!!

Extensive testing shows that the accufab 70mm Plenum with the 75 mm TB is the best combo. Forget the MAF, your stock one is good enough untill you get 400+ HP.

Accufab 70mm TB goes with Plenum.. not the 75mm TB...

you don't need the C&L maf. save up for other things like GEARS.

Yeah what he said. I have the C&L plenum, BBK 70mm TB, UPR cai & Pro M Remote Optimizer. I'm really pleased with this combo. However I'm pulling the cash together to get the C&L inlet pipe & Accufab 75mm TB. I'm just going to replace the MAF to TB pipe from the cai with the Inlet pipe from C&L and replace the BBK 70 with the Accufab 75 (just for a few more ponies) .

With the Pro-M optimizer you can control your A/F mixture? is this correct? If so how much is it and where can i get it from?

It's in an article at www.modulardepot.com and I wouldn't use that optimizer if I were you. You'll put the timing tables out of wack by tricking the ECC.
