Your in CA, so the cam will have to have a CARB # to get you through smog.
Having said that, your going to pick up some gains, and get a little lob at idle, but your not going to pick up the gains you hope to get.
So lets break it down,
Ls-2 makes 411hp oem.
With a tune, you looking at 426'ishhp instead.
Porting the intake will pick up about 10hp to get your around 435hp with tune, and you might be able to pick up another 25hp with a CARB #'d cam (with tune for it as well).
So your about 460hp and about as far as your going to be able to go and still get past smog legally. If you want to install a Z06 exhaust system that you should be able to sneak through smog, then you can pick up around another 15hp instead (your into a grey area here, and LT headers are out since they do not have a Carb #).
On the other hand, The Eforce TVS-2300 kit has a Carb #, and will get you to 600hp one shot instead.

Hood
I had that hood custom made no one has it. It's real and it was not cheap to do. i ask the guy to make it look factory and he did. It took a lot of work to get it right but it came out clean. Many people have said it looks very good. I wanted something no one had. Believe me it's real for sure.

A&A SC is your just going to be strip and rolling racing.
Eforce tvs-2300 if you are going to be more road course racing instead.
The A&A will have more of a mid range and up boost hit, while the TVS-2300 will be pulling strong from idle up instead.
Both will have a heat soak problem after a couple of boost hits (more with the TVS-2300) but a meth kit will solve that problem easily (and still keep you CARB Legal).

Give A&A a call, they can recommend the right nozzle size for you and are known for their customer service. And they sell alky control kits..
It will either be a single M10 or M15 in my opinion.
