Ram Air Mod for non WS6 TA? I was thinking deeply about my car the other day while putting my new SLP lid on and was wondering if there was any kind of Ram Air effect on the Non-WS6 Trans Am's? And if there is I was also wondering if there was any way to improve that without destroying my radiator airflow? I seem to remember coming across a kit awhile back that did something like that, but I can't seem to find it. If there is such a thing, could you guys direct me to it and give me your thoughts on it?

take a look at the vendors on the right. most of them have a kit your looking for. True ram air on ws6 cars dont really shine until you reach higher speeds. unless you really want true ram air and already have the hood, then i would look at a cold air induction system. my car is a ws6 car and i have the cold air induction on it!

You can do what I did. Cut out two holes on the front of the hood brace right behind each of the nostrils. Then cut a rectangle spanning both holes on the back side. (I left the gussetts in but you could probably cut them out.) Then place some foam seal tape around the perimeter in the back for a seal to the airbox. I also placed velcro strips around the perimeter on the front and made blockers from sheet plastic for hard rain.
This makes for a straight shot of cold air to the intake and works better than the stock WS6 set-up with baffles intact. My IAT's were consistently lower than my friend's stock WS6 at the track.
