I can't see it being very effective as all you will be doing is exposing the corner of the air filter which doesn't really flow much air. Better than cutting your air box, you should remove the baffles in your WS6 hood and add washers underneath the lower air box to raise it.

Here we go pic's are up
First is looking at the front it two times as wide at the opening now

Another view from the side

Looking down at the top with itout of the car so you can see the triming done

I reinforced the piece across the front that holds the clips so it would not bend and cause sealing problems, I used J-B weld and a strip of alum, been like that for two years no problems

I sealed the top of the rad with a thin sheet of plastic with reflective tape on the under side to keep hot air out of the air box.

i wouldn't waste the time to do that, as you can see in the pics that the element is still in the way, restricting the opening...the best was to do it let it breathe from below or is a camaro from the front holes in the bumper...you are not taking advantage of the ram air effect...
check out my ram air, sux2bu ram air, ftra, or ssra...
