not trying to be mean but you(bjamick) should prolly get rid of the part in your sig that says "i thought that was pretty good coming from a non-ram air car" Because the ram-air really didnt do squat for anybody.

well the ws6 ram air cars were under rated at 325 hp they really came with bout 350HP so ya theres a big dif and also ws6 is the performance susp. package so there is a nice dif b/t ram air ws6 and a reg. trans am. 305HP thats why i say in my sig not bad for a non ram air car.

Here we go again... What makes you say that the WS6/SS were underrated and the TA/Formula/Z28 weren't?? There will be absolutely no difference on the dyno whatsoever...NONE. BTW, nice kill..racing a SRT from a dig should not be a problem unless it is highly modified.

Ya, that quote might fly on the local import boards, but its not gonna cut it around here.

Very minimal power difference between the WS6 and non ram air T/A, if any at all. Its basically the same car with different hoods and shocks.

Guys don't do that! Now he might feel bad for getting the WS6 for it's higher performance.

I think he is driving a Non WS6/SS terd just like us...lol. I knew I should've gotten a ram-air hood so that I could have unlocked all of that underrated horsepower.

1.
2. 02 WS6 = LS6 intake = actual difference (nothing to do with ram-air nor enough to "feel" IMO).
3. 02 WS6= 3.23 gears instead of 2.73 gears (A4s) This is probably the "difference) you felt if there was one.
4. Please stop with the ram-air argument now, you are wrong and everyone here, with the exception of a few ram-air owners who are think they payed for extra horsepower, will tell you so.
