Is this a good combo?

Ok i just ordered a trick flow intake plenum and bbk cold air intake. I already had flowmaster's american thunder cat back exhaust installed. Now i plan to add a offroad x pipe, mass air and throttle body. I know i will have to get a regulator or even change the injectors out then. But for what I will have now should that work ok or will that be too much airflow?

just get the xpipe(which will sound ugh imo with the flows), dont waste your money on a mass air or cai, do get a timing adjuster and pullies.

good mods:
midpipe
gears
timing adjuster
pullies
plenum and tb(ok imo nothing great so far)
traction

Im going to have to agree with Jackie Chan on this one. CAI's have proven to be a waste of money. The plenum and t/b are a much better choice. I dont know about the pulleys though. With the t/a youll probably get a dyno tune with a chip so the t/a might turn out to be a waste of money also. If you want an x pipe then Id go with the Dr. Gas o/r x, there have been pretty good proven gains with that. I can almost guarantee youll be running lean after you install that MAF, so you might want to wait on that also.

Ok here is what I got so far,

Offroad x pipe
Cold air I already ordered

Now what else would be good. My budget is around 800 bucks. And that there is about 200 of it. Now do I have to buy the mil eliminators when i get the x pipe or are they a need? And the plenum's are a waste as well? I was going towards the trick flow plenum. But if thats not a good choice what should I get? Also My car keeps burning up my o2 sensors. Whats the deal here. And the computer is also saying that there is a misfire in cylinder 6.
