Default Which is the better air intake setup?

I've just purchase by second LS1, '02 WS6 6-speed, and I'm looking to buy an air intake set up. Problem is I'm not sure which is the better set up? Any advice on which one adds the most hp? Is the SLP cold air intake capturing air in front of the radiator worth it?

FTRA or BGRA. Either one of them seals your airbox and yanks in plenty more air. Personally though I did the Free Ram Air mod and deinfetely picked up some power. Very evident when I hit WOT. Good luck!

Since you have a ws6 I would get the BGRA.

Brad, thanks for the info. I wasn't familiar with either one of these systems but after doing some research it looks like the BGRA would bring the best results.

Anyone else have an opinion?

Default What else can you use with the BGRA?

I'm sure you can use an aftermarket lid but can you use SLP's aftermarket cold air induction picking up cold air from underneath in front of the radiator?

Also is the BGRA beter than SLP's "FlowPac" which uses a high flow lid and the cold air induction from underneath on a '02 WS6?
