is it true that the option code that changed your formula to a trans am is called the ws9 option?

Nope, WS9 made your car a Formula, that is, a bitchin' Pontiac Firebird with Three Hunnert and Fiftee cubic inches of iron block powa.

Another RPO on top of that made your car into a Trans Am, only possible with the WS9 RPO.

GM Math=
Pontiac Firebird + RPO WS9 = Firebird Formula
Pontiac Firebird + RPO WS9 + RPO Y82, or Y83, or Y84 (not sure which) = Firebird Formula Trans Am, usually seen as Firebird Trans Am

RPO site = http://www.fbodymotorsports.com/9302rpocodes
RPO site = http://www.nastyz28.com/gm-rpo-codes/

Just google that **** up, real easy to find helpful sites

WS9 is called the Formula Conversion Pkg but essentially all it means is you have a V8 equipped Firebird.
W66 Formula Merchandise Pkg and Y82 Trans Am Merchandise Pkg have to be present to identify what model the car is.

WS9 + W66 = Formula
WS9 + Y82 = Trans Am

Formula/Trans Am doesn't exist it's either one or the other.
Most people who associate the two together are confused because the Vin# doesn't distinguish between the two. RPO's are the only way to properly identify the Model.
