Default FRA effective on Ram Air Car?

My car is an 01 WS6 TransAm. I was wondering if the free ram air mod. on LS1.com would still be effective on my car if I were to remove the second hood baffle too. Air entering both ways-good or bad?

From what I have read the more air the better, however there is a kit out there that will get the most of the ws-6 hood by sealing off the hood to the box. Speed Inc. sells http://www.ls1speed.com/catagory.cfm?catagory=induction
Almost haf-way down the page you will find it. Makes cense. Of course with this you would not want FRA.

If all your doing is the FRA then it would work fine. Then you could always add a Fast Toys Ram Air of Super Sucker in the future.

If you have the Ws6 Ram Air car then i'd go with BGRA (Brian Greene's Ram Air Mod). I just installed it today and it's worth it. I can't say i feel it when i'm driving but i know it's helping me. Also why buy a Ws6 car if you aren't gonna use the ram air to its true potential. This mod does that.
