negative, the WS6 on the back addes 25hp, the extra 75 horses you speak of clearly comes from the "Ram Air" sticker on the hood

Ha Take That

I bought mine because I like the way it looks over a norm t/a.
Always like them. I think it's just a preference thing.. buy what yuo want.

Seems like a high price to pay for an extra 20-25 HP. Yes, the hood looks kick ***, but you can buy one for $400-$700. Still much cheaper. And I think it comes with better exhaust, but don't most people replace that anyhow? Why pay so much more for a WS6?
Buy a formula LOL! And put 3.73 gears and let everyone thinks its a v-6 and it is the cheatest of all the ls1s.

Unless you got an anniversary edition WS6, Formula WS6 or a Firehawk then IMO you have nothing special. I only mention those three because they are all kind of rare. GM made a bazillion TA WS6's which gave no power increase regardless of what the dealers used to say.

In fact, I kind of like the aftermarket WS6's better because the aftermarket hoods weigh less then the OEM ones. As long as you don't put a WS6 badge on it you're good

I seen an after market hood on a Reg T/A it didnt look right to me, Its too thick under the too hood scoops right near the opening above the front bumper.

Of course i have a real WS6, i was just trying to find any LS1 F-body M6 and this was the only one i could find and **** being able to say WS6 to (normal people) makes up for it having the same engine as a reg T/A. I also think it looks better, but thats just me.
