The shaker hood adds little to no horsepower. It is just like the hoods on 98-02 SS Camaros they are to far back to pressurize the air charge.

Get a MAF if you're going to choose one of the three mods. It will add more power and that's the ultimate goal!

if you want to WASTE 200+ dollars on a near stock gt buy an aftermarket MAF. there are better boltons for the money.
