What intake?
80mm TB is huge, most intakes have to be ported to accept it correctly.
The stock distributer is better than any aftermarket replacement.
Typically the maf is larger than the TB, but it's probably fine.
A summit 75mm meter is probably a rebadged pro m, so it should be fine.
Those parts aren't anything the stock computer can't handle.

I'm not sure what the systemax comes with for an opening, if these other guys don't answer, just pull the intake tube off and look to see if there is an edge where they meet.
If the car runs good, you may not really need any help.
