Im debating on what to get, heres my options. 20x9 20x10 black bullitts OR CAI/tuner OR shaker kit with tuner. Now my question is, will a shaker with a tuner get me as much HP as say a c&l cai/tuner? and how hard is it to cut the hole in the hood, is this something I have to have a machine shop do???

I'd stick with the CAI/tuner probably cheaper and if you ever jump into the world of FI you will more than likely not be able to use it and have a big hole in the hood. This is just my opinion of course.

No, or at least I really don't think so. The Shaker will get you some cold air, but it won't help you overcome the restrictive stock intake.

Posted via Mobile Device Ford stock hit $1.50 on Friday. I am thinking about buying some stock rather then modding. I know that's not the kind of advice you were looking for, but that's what I am thinking about doing.
