you wont have to cut with the WS6 hood. If you compression is stock with the heads than you are ok. If you are running higher compression you are out of luck...

My old setup was a vortech at 7 psi with MMS H/C and bolt ons, LT's, 3" borla, LS6 intake and MMS throttle body and more. I made 552 rwhp. I had no real problems, just rear end and tranny of course. I had to cut my SS hood.
