I have the SSRA and had the same problem. If you take the bottom piece out you techniquely have a cold air setup not a ram air set up. I was able to wedge the transmission cooler to the far left and put the bottom piece next to it. I put the bottom half of the SSRA right next to it. The transmission cooler does not move at all and it isn't even bolted in. It is a very tight fit. I picked up atleast .1 at the track.
. i noticed a difference in mine at higher speeds, IAT was also cooler.

well if the air lid is not tight, then there's going to be a slight power loss from air escaping at the cracks. same principles i guess when air is just being directed by the plastic air dam piece that's not sealed at all. the FTRA and SSRA (better) is funneling air more directly into the throttlebody.

The free air mod does not directly force air into the airbox by using the forward momentum of the car (ram air). This means that all the air that enters the motor is strictly due to engine vacuum (less efficient). The free air mod also draws air from directly in front of the radiator which is warmer than the air the FTRA draws from the bottom of the vehicle off the air deflector. Warm air = less power and less timing (which also equals less power).
Lastly, the free air mod is not capable of developing any positive pressure in the air box while the FTRA will achieve a small degree of pressurization at higher speeds improving the VE of the motor. Improve the VE of the motor and you get more HP and better fuel economy.
That's it in a nutshell

Volumetric Efficiency (hope I spelt that right). Basically how efficient a motor is at pumpinr air or put another way, the relationship between theoretical displacement and how much air actual enters each cylinder.

Yes it will be more efficient than the WS6 ram air set-up. However, we realize some WS6 customers want to keep their hood functional so we offer the JAAM WS6 ram air kit as a good compromise that will still yield a performance increase and also improves the looks underhood

if you want your stock ws6 hood functional (use JAAM)
if you dont care, use the FTRA
I dont think you would want to use them together becuase it just wont work right.
Stupid question. Say someone wants to use the FTRA and not use the factory WS6 ram air, do you sell kits that have a larger seal to block off the front of the airbox since the ramair cars have an opening thats twice as big as the regular size boxes that camaros, adn base trans am's use?

You have to pick either the JAAM kit or the FTRA. Running them together will not help you any more.
The rubber seal we provide in the FTRA kit is 1/2" too short for the WS6 lower air box. We couldn't not find a one piece rubber seal tall enough. To make the kit work on your WS6 car, you either need to use a piece of thin plastic, tape, plexiglass or something else to supplement our seal to properly seal up the front of the air box. The goal is just to prevent air from escaping through the front of the air box.
