Just bought a WS9 hood, Have a ? about ram air How does the air get from the "nostrils" to the engine? Will I need a new airbox? A new air lid? If so suggestions on what kind/where to buy.

Do a search on "sealing the lid" Or sealing ram air. There is a kit to make it 100% forced. You will also need the taller air box that the WS6 came with. The hood should have an open are inside that lines up with the air lid/box.

you are going to need the bottom part of the airbox. you can get it from gmpartsdirect.com for like $70. the part # is 12455209 (i think). then you can use the brian greene kit to seal the hood directly to the box. i think that speed inc sells them. hope that helps
