I like the WS6 hood or the predator hoods on the 93-97 firebirds. The big block stinger hood strikes me as a little over the top sort of along the same lines as the extra tall ws6 hood.

Is an aftermarket hood worth adding... To me it was I've never been a fan for the 93-97 stock hood but that'll be a matter of personal perference and how much you have to spend on the car.

Take it easy

WOW, im shocked that most of the replies have been negative about the BB hood, i had one on my 1996 white TA and i loved it so much, i still have whats left of it after the car being totaled out!!! i personally dont like the 93-97 ram air hoods, not very aggressive at all, and i didnt want the newer style WS6 hood on a 93-97 year model either, cause it doesnt go on that car!!! the BB hood got nothing but compliments, and was a blast to see from behind the wheel while driving it!!! go for it man, you want me disappointed at all!!!!
