Default SSRA and WS6 lower air box?s
Does it matter which lower air box (stock or WS6) I use if I am going to do the SSRA mod?

I could be wrong but the SSRA on a ws6 hood/lid setup is almost useless due to how much air flows through the nostrils of the hood. Thats why it was designed and used mainly on camaros.

Sorry but that's definitely not true. Something like the SSRA is FAR better than the T/A ram air hood lol

I have both raised and stock lower air boxes. I don't wanna hack up my raised one anymore than I need to, if there will be no power increase with SSRA on the raised air box over the stocker.

I actually swapped my high rise lid to the stocker so I could seal it easier. Only about an inch to seal versus the 2". I have a chris1313 RA though.
