CAI and Tune. Then get the hood if you still want it, but it won't make a whole lot of difference in performance.

Congrats. I think you went with the best color with the CS package though I could be a little biased..lol I think the shaker hoods look awsome. Its definately different.

Nighthawk,

Can you see the scoop actually shake when you stomp on the gas?
Like the ones from the old 60's cars? I'm wondering if new motor mounts might limit the shaking.
And if it does do you have that blurry-looking sticker they used to put under the hood?

Orion, I wouldn't know. The ones I have seen were at car shows and through pictures. I haven't seen any while they were running. I have a GT hood scoop on my car.

I'd get a CAI and tune. But if you have to get the Shaker, get the intake as well. My personal recomendation is a C&L CAI with a 88mm maf tube. It's going to need a custom tune to run it but it's well worth it !! I'd save my money from buying the FRPP kit and buy from places online.

lots of good replies here, I am looking at a C&L CAI with tune and still shopping exhausts.Question for everyone, are the tunes plug and play or plug and pray? LOL
Thanks guys and keep the info coming...
