The WS6 and the SS hood look awesome, but the whole RamAir thing is a marketing ploy. It doesn't next to nothing for performance.

I believe the extra power gained with the WS6 is all in the exhaust system

That is good for at least a tenth. Any time you can get cooler outside air into the intake, you'll make more power - proven fact.

Re: ws6 hood for ram air?

i can understand with the ss hood because the air hass to loop around but with the ws6 hood it can be just about a straight shot? does anyone sell a kit to exploit this?
