I don't know about everyone else, but I always assume crank hp unless someone says whp. Who is stupid enough on here to think the guy was talking about 350rwhp stock?

if you're going to assume what hp is being discussed in reference to stock cars, you should join the rest of the country in assuming hp ratings are crank unless specified otherwise since that's where the factory has always rated them...or maybe that's just me

WS6 code began as a handling package on
The conversion from a standard Trans Am to a WS6 was done by ASC not SLP. This also included the hood which was painted at there facility to match the cars. This is why alot of WS6's have issues with the rain etching on the WS6 hoods paint and not the rest of the car.

I had one insist that I must have had the hood painted because it didn't have the orange peel texture like other parts of the car. I guess the guy didn't know the hood was done separate from the car to begin with.
I had to make the circuit of dealerships before I was able to get it fixed.

Wrong on alot of accounts, the largest being the SLP didn't do the LS1 cars, they still did the SS, and the WS6 was partially SLP and partially ASC, GM did neither one regardless. There were also 98s of both cars. The SS didn't necessarily have the same catback with different tips, there were catback options. WS6 still meant suspension upgrades as well with the LS1 cars. I could keep picking it apart, but in summary, your post never should have been made because it is so full of incorrect claims

not really
yes the suspension is upgraded (bilstein) but not on all of them. that was another option.
there is not a power difference with the hood (unless debaffeled) and/or the air box unless at a very high speed.
his has an ls6 intake so it will have more performance than say a 99

This is what my ws6 hood looks like now.

Makes me sick. And I'm not sure if I want to paint it or get another (different) hood and paint it instead.

wow, these never stop.
WS6 stands for - Wikipedia Search and 6 is for how many of these damn post i see a day.
to all over you arguing it has 400 more horsepower and BS, WRONG. it comes with a cool hood, and an airbox that does absolutely NOTHING untell 100 MPH+.. and a little suspension work. as an EXTRA option on top of it you could send it to SLP to add a catback, and some other little goodies..

And YOUR part of the problem!!!!!!!! SLP had NOTHING to do with the WS6 nor could you send your car there for anything!!! I am speaking of the LS1.... THe suspension upgrades in the later years were a joke. The shocks have the same part number as the none WS6 cars....
