How does the air get from the "nostrils" to the engine? Will I need a new airbox? A new air lid? If so suggestions on what kind/where to buy.

 

Do a search on "sealing the lid" Or sealing ram air. There is a kit to make it 100% forced. You will also need the taller air box that the WS6 came with. The hood should have an open are inside that lines up with the air lid/box.

 

thats the Brian Green Ram Air kit. i think Speed Inc sells it.

 

how much should I look at spending for the taller air box that the WS6 came with. and is it just the lower that Id need?

 

its just the lower part, and you can prolly get that for like 30-40 bucks.

 

you are going to need the bottom part of the airbox. you can get it from gmpartsdirect.com for like $70. the part # is 12455209 (i think). then you can use the brian greene kit to seal the hood directly to the box. i think that speed inc sells them. hope that helps

 

I checked that out, that comes up as a support, still hunting though

 

yeah, that's it. i thought the same thing when i ordered mine but that is the right part. why they call it a support is beyond me but it is the right part.

 

huh, maybe because it "supports" the air filter....who knows but thanx!!!

 

its the lower air box but its the radiator support, that keeps the radiator in place

ws6 hood? cut the baffles out of it

 

 

well it better be the right part, just bought one, ended up $81.14 with shipping, and it is a NON-RETURNABLE PART.....so I sure as hell hope its the right one!!!

 

it prolli is,ive got the WS9 hood with the ram air box and you really notice the difference especially in the cold weather

 

i have suncoast raptpr hood and whisper lid ,could i use the lower support part from GM direct?would it fit lid and clear hood?

 

keep us updated!

 

Yes, pleas keep us updated as I want to order that part as well.
Thanks, Bob

 

will let you know, the tracking still shows "special ordered" hopefully have in by next Tuesday or Wednesday, when the hood arrives!!!!

 

hope u didnt get it from gmpartsdirect, im waiting on my second week here for my ls6 oil pump

 

doesnt the raptor hood use the inverted air box?? the larger lower box would do nothing for you since the air is forced from the top, if thats the case.

 

what the heck is the ws9 hood is that like the formula hood ?
