I am going to put a WS6 hood on my 1998 Trans Am (non -ram air). I found a hood locally and came off a 2001 WS6 Trans Am. I know that a lot of parts vary from the 98-99 years vs. the 00-02 years. Will I have any fitment issues with this newer model WS6 hood on my 98' model?

 

nope u need to get the taller WS6 airbox if you want it to use the ram air...

 

I have a SLP lid and K&N filter on it now. I see how this may not sit up high enough. What do you recommend getting? Volant CAI?

 

nope, just get the high rise box.. its what the lid and filter sit in

 

Would it be easiest to get the high rise box at a dealer?

 

Even if you get the raised lower airbox seal the hood to it and remove the baffles your only going to see about 3-5 HP at 100 mph.

 

u can get it here.. junk yard or at the dealer,

 

there are some aftermarket intakes that use the ws6 ram air. they're probably cheaper than a factory from dealer anyways.

 

Nah, and whem you get it on post up some before and after pics

 

Is the lower airbox still available from the dealer? I couldn't find it on gmpartsdirect.com...

 

Alright, thanks guys I'll post up some pics hopefully next week.

 

you can even take some extra sockets and put underneath the bolt holes and make yourself a homemade ram air box. kinda cheesy but you know it helps

 

if you raise the air box u p what holds your rad in place?

dont go to the stealership! ebay or bust!

even on a factory car the ram air hoods are basically for show, an slp flow pac or fast toys ram air kit is gonna have a bigger effect than a stock hood.

 

I agree even the FRA mod will show better gains then the hood.

 

your just raising the front up where the air would come in. where the four ten mm bolts are
