T.B., Intake base, & Fireball Combo

I have an 89 GTA w/ a 5.7 TPI. I recently bought a set SLP runners off this guy for $100. I also have a Holley AFPR and bosch design III injectors. I also a hypertech chip and little odds and ends. Overall stock, no major engine work done.

I have the opportunity to puchase an Accel 58mm throttle body for $100, an Edlebrock High Flow Intake base for $150, and a Crane Fireball HI-6S for $50.

I was wondering if these items are worth me purchasing for my car and if its worth the time and money to put them on. Will i see good horse power results. And does anyone have similar items installed. I was just considering these parts cause the cheap price. Would an aftermarket throttle body help perfermance if i installed that alone with my SLP runners? Or do i need the intake base to get any decent resualts?

And would a Fireball HI 6S help in anyway perfermance wise for my car. Any pros and cons? Things are rough now and i dont want to waste my money or anything that wont make much of a difference. Any input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks...Al in NJ

By the way i did post this in a different section by accident.

Re: T.B., Intake base, & Fireball Combo

All I would worry about is the edelbrock base to go with the SLP runners.I would Port match them atleast.You will need an aftermarket base and ported plenum to get the benifits of those runners IMO.I wouldnt waste my money on the TB.The stock one can support well more power than you`ll be making.You shouldnt really need the fireball.Just make sure all your stock ignition stuff is in good working order.
