Default So what exactly does the WS6 package include?

I have a 98 Formula WS6, and I was curious what exactly the WS6 performance package really include? I am aware of the Ram Air hood, and the air intake that goes with it, and of coarse the WS6 badges, but is that it?

What is a WS6 engine? It has an LS1 in it, just the same as every V8 powered F-body 98-02.

Don't know about the '98 but you should also have a power steering cooler. Specific exhaust, and handling. Do a search.

This thread was started because the search came up with nothing. The car does have the Monsoon system in it, as for a different suspension, I am not sure. It doesn't seem to have clearly marked Bilstein shocks like those on Camaro SS's I have seen, and I know for a fact, it isn't lowered as it sits plenty high. The exhaust seems to also be the same as the T/A's and Z28's.

Thanks to those who plain and simple gave me answers and didn't give me the run around.

The WS6 package consists of Larger front swaybar(32mm) higher rate springs,
different valved shocks, (but still Decarbons) low restriction exhaust, (Single 3.5" outlet for `98 only) 17" Wheels w/ 275/40/17 Tires, Ram Air Hood and Raised Airbox.
All Formula's have Monsoon systems standard.

If you have billstiens that means a previous owner upgraded to them.
There was a 1LE Autocross package available only on M6 Formula's that included Koni D/A's but it would Delete all the power options and Monsoon Radio as well.

ws6 has over a base t/a
ram air hood
lower intake box
rear ws6 badge
upgrade hi flow exhaust 98 had one side (best flowing ever)
99+ had dual side (not as good flowing but GM had to redo it as the 98 failed WOT noise level)
17 inch rims tires w jounce spacer
32mm front sway bar
not sure about late models but 98 99 ws6 had
1le springs
upgraded DeCarbons shocks (the rears are actually physically bigger)
i think also the tranny mount (mn6) was 1le
rear panhard rod bushing was 1le

just to add... 1le added on top of the ws6 (98 and 99 only)
stiffer rubber bushings on the front and rear control arms
and Koni DAs

SLP is still on top, since the Firehawk is a step above the WS6, and Firehawk was done by SLP.


Quick Reply: So what exactly does the WS6 package include?
