If I have a functional Ram Air Hood on my WS6, will a cold air kit from SLP do aything for me, or is basically useless? I'm planning on buying a carbon fiber whisper lid and a ported and polished TB soon.

go ahead and buy a Lid, you could use the SLP kit, and just a FYI the "functional" Ram air hood on your Ws6 does next to nothing unless you seal it off. The way it is now doesnt do ANYTHING unless your goin well over 120+MPH, the whole 15 added HP from the Ram air from GM was just a way to sell more SS's and WS6's

Well your airbox is about 3 inches taller so yea I'm pretty sure its more effective than it sitting on the radiator.

do this and nothing but this...

Buy a lid (jsut pick one and dont dare ask whats better)

then, get some sheet metal or a cheap plastic clipboard, whatevers around and put it inside your hood and debaffle it. after that youre gonig to get some thick *** weather stripping and fit around the inside of the hood where its cut out and will seal your hood to the airbox. cheap and very effective comapred to some of the other ****.

can someone explain this whole hood thing, im a newbie with a 2000 WS6, i was under the assumption that the top nostrols sucked the air in...lol, guess I was fooled, what needs to be sealed?

Check out Volant, it seals to your hood. You can find a trillion threads in here on Lids.

I have a volant intake w/ bgra and it works great. I used to have a lid.

your stock hood has baffles to keep water from comming in, soyou take those out. next step is look at the distance between the hood and the airlid, its a pretty big gap so you add weather stripping or something of sort to seal the gap and have it as air tight as you can get it.
