No, its not possible.

The WS6 store sells all three versions.

Hit me up with a PM if you have any questions.

You do need to cut up the lid assembly base...also you need to hack up (I mean cut) the radiator air deflector so it can sit infront of the radiator...all which is done with the SSRA too

Only thing different is I prefer to have the maximum potential of a ram air and the V portion of the hood latch blocks up to 25% of the flow, so I have this v portion removed from the hood latch...also since the SSRA is two pieces it has an added leak path at this spot...I designed my intake for maximum hp possible...

Each person will have to make the decision on what they want for his or her car...

I could careless if I sell any rams airs to be honest, I just started making them cause members requested what I had on my 9 sec heads cam car...but I take offense when you try and shed my product in a negative light...

My car is on stock tune. That's why I'm asking because the guy I quoted on page 1 said he had to tune his car do dump in more fuel because it leaned out just from adding that. Which I find hard to believe but want to confirm.

From what I've seen the Chris1313 or SSRA are a little better than the ones like SLP, FTRA, etc

I just installed a HCI package on my camaro. I have the SSRA and I love the scoop right under the front bumper. at idle I can hear it pulling in air and I know at high speeds it really lets my 90mm Intake really breathe in some cold air. The only thing that sucks is it requires more frequent change of the air filter because of all the dirt it pulls up too.
I dont have any official numbers but I like the theory of it.
