I have a 2.25" catback, Injen CAI and a ported TB as of now.

Very soon to get a shorty header from ZZP and a 2.25" DP.

I just don't want to run lean, or other problems.

To OP: Is your car tuned for the modifications? If not, you should get tuned. Especially for the bigger throttle body.

My car has no tuning.

When I first did the ported TB, the car did not like it.
But after several restarts of the car it now loves it, or at least seems to.
Car is much quicker after the porting on the TB.
Only the inlet is match ported to the intake tube.
The inner diameter where the butterfly is, is stock.
I did this to increase velocity.

I thought about getting it tuned when I get the header, cat and DP.
I just didn't want to spend that much cash every time I got a mod done.

Do you think the JET Chip is worth it?

The stage II supposedly supports all these mods.

They also have a performance MAF sensor that supports the chip.
Not sure if that is snake oil or?

Do some research. This has been covered countless times.

You don't need a performance MAF, you can probably get away with waiting and doing all bolt ons before tuning.

Unfortunately your 2007 is not supported by HPTuners, but you can try to get Trifecta tuned.

2007 is supported, 2006 is not.

Thanks, you are correct. I read their site wrong.
