It is true that the WS6 has a taller airbox but it still uses the same air filter tray and same ineffecient hood design. A low profile hood scoop in conjuction with a an airbox that is not sealed to the hood = no additional power. Some people use the BGRA mod (no longer in production) which addresses the sealed intake problem but not the low profile hood scoop.

Bottom line is you are going to see an improvement still with the FTRA.

I've been searching for the last couple of days on a couple different forums about FTRA. Most agree that there is a performance increase, but has anyone noticed ET variances?

You set something up on the board for the FTRA, you would need to go through one of our supporting dealers:

Thunder Racing
WS6 Store
PFYC

You can also contact us directly.

Thanks
