LT1 true Ram Air Ok when I get my tax refund check back, I am going to buy the longtubes, I have an ORY waiting right now. I am also going to put on a true WS6 Ram Air intake box, but I know it will probably not be any performance gain over my elbow + SLP CAI. It looks like I need a top and bottom cover, I have the part number for the bottom cover, but I am seeing 2 different top covers.
I imagine the 2nd one is the true WS6 cover, and i don't have the part number for it, which from looks, I would rather have it. Does anyone have a part number for this airbox? Anyone think there might be a performance gain over the elbow + CAI? Will I need anything else besides the top cover, bottom cover, and filter?

Second pic is a factory Ram Air cover. I don't have a part number unfortunately for ya but hopefully someone else will chime in.
As for the Ram Air Vs. CAI debate....well its just that, a debate. Some people like the Ram Air setup, others swear by CAI's.
Good luck. BTW, I bought a new original cover off ebay and cut out the entire center section to use the expose the entire filter.

Found air cleaner part numbers.. http://www.97ta.com/pn22.html .The top cover will not pull up on GMPartsDirect, so I may just buy the one from SLP.
I cannot ever find one on ebay.. what did you type in for search

Yes, but i'm not 100% how they will make a perfect seal to the hood. It doesn't look like it has the seals around the box like the 2nd pic i posted (factory WS6 box)

i ordered mine from summit for around 300$ and it comes with the rubber seals that go around the hole in your hood and seals to the box and it sealed perfect

Looks like im gonna be spending about $200 on the airbox. But I'll sell my SLP CAI + Trickflow inlet elbow for close to $200. Anyone need a SLP CAI and elbow?

It is basically a CAI setup. Ram Air, by the laws of physics, can only add .18psi at 100mph. It's not until you get up around 200mph that ram air starts meaning something substantial.

Both of those Ram Air boxes are the same. It's just that one has the rubber seal on it and on the other it is missing. I like Ram Air, but as far as a performance increase over the CAI, I don't know. If it's none or only a couple, I would keep my CAI.
I'd love to ditch my eBay one I bought the car with
