I have a 2000 Trans Am and I am thinking of putting a scoop hood and ram air box on it and I have a few questions.

First, A guy from the local dealership hinted that I meight need a new mass air sensor, is this true and what else might I need other than the hood and air box?

Second, he wanted $1,600 to order the hood but I have seen aftermarket hoods on ebay from a place called Sun Coast Creations for far less. I seem to remember hearing someone say something bad about those hoods but I can’t be sure. Are they good hoods or should I try to find a factory one?



Thanks.
The mass air flow sensor doesn't need to be replaced. that's just someone trying to make money off you.

$1,600 for a hood is riduculous. for a Suncoast hood, you should be looking at closer to $600-$750. like below:
