Question Can I put a higher Air Lid on my car?

I recently put a SS Hood on my Z28 and I am using a whisper air lid on the car. But I was wondering if I could put a higher air lid like on the WS6 since I have the SS Hood. Any info is welcomed .

I think you might be able to fit it but I don't really think it will give ya much.
I see you got a factory SS hood, is it set up to be functional (ie: does the scoop route air back around to the air lid)?

The hood is functional and the scoop does route the air back to the lid.

The air lid isn't what makes it higher... the lower airbox on the WS6's is different, bigger opening.

I've heard mixed results on whether or not the WS6 lower will work with a SS hood. Most people say it doesn't fit.

some people have had it fit... however general consensus is it won't fit.
