hood? Blower? Maybe both and hook up the ram air hood to a intercooler.
I hear if you use an intercooler you don't need a spark retard box and get
more usable power with less strain on the engine!

Gains from a hood = looks, less weight (sometimes), maybe 20hp if it's
functional.
Vortech S-trim in kit form gives you more looks too (everyone likes to hear it
whine...:)), and about 5 times as much as a hood would give you. FWIW, I got
~120-130hp from mine at 5psi. More horsepower and torque are just a pulley
change away.
At 5psi, you won't need much (if any) spark retard.. even w/o an intercooler
