Default Hood Shake at high speeds? (Don't have time to search)

I am at work and just about out of time for break. What brand hoods pins can virtually eliminate the hood shake at high speeds? Thanks in advance

I have read the the hood pins will not take care of the hood shake that ours cars have. They are more for appearance.

I'm installing Sparco pins. Not for looks but because I have had friends that had bad experienced with fiberglass and carbon hoods.

I have the shaker hood cut into my original hood. You shouldnt have any shaking if its a shaker with original hood. If its a aftermarket fiberglass hood then there is nothing that can be done about the shaking.

If your talking about the shaker unit moving. It is attached to the engine. Its going to move.

No sorry, Its a typo. I experienced my first bad hood shake the other day. I want to get it fixed. I'm not really a fan of the sparcos they look kinda funny. I know the shaker scoop is suppose to shake. So nothing will fix the hood shake or just put up with it?

I went back and read several threads. You may just adjust the stops and that could fix it. Other have taken it to the dealer and had them look into it and do the adjustments.

How fast are you guys going when you get hood shake? I've only had my GT up to 100, but I haven't seen any hood shake. Could be a vision problem on my part, I guess. I am old...

I get it at as low as 80 mph. I am really tired of it. I've adjusted my hood stops but it makes no difference on mine.
