Unfortunately, most people are just voting for what they have. Which is why you are mostly getting WS6 votes.

Right. I think if people had a choice, they'd go either WS9 or Raptor. But a raptor/ws9 aren't $1.5k better than the WS6 hood for most people.

If i had my choice, it'd be Raptor, Firehawk, T/A, WS9, WS6, Mecham, and then any cowl hood. In that order.

Maybe what they have is what they think is the best looking hood?

I'd have voted Mecham if it was an option. 2nd fav is the WS9. I just wish the quality of the mecham hood was better!

More than likely it came that way and they don't want to drop mucho dollars on a hood.

If WS6's came with the option (at no extra cost) to have the WS6 or Firehawk hood, the vote tally would be different.

Firehawk hood all the way! The lines are a bit more mature and flow nicely. The heat extractors over the exhaust manifolds really work too!
