hmmm i remember reading in a sticky a long time ago before i bought mine that it was early formulas that came without but all t/as did, i think. i definitely could be wrong about this though.

there IS a difference.. and yes 5 g will put u past the diff between a ta and a ws6 but part of what ur buying is the name.. and yes an ls1 is an ls1.. but thats from the heads down.. the intake and exhaust are your differences when it comes to mechanical.. suspension is also a big difference.. why your saying the diff is the hood i duno? ram air package is an option for the ta as well.. that DOESNT make it a ws6.. all this you can find with just a lil research.. the comment about how the ta/ws6/and firehawk are all the same is bogus... if u guys forgot already the same motor the vette uses was run in our fbodys..
Also, show me a factory "ram air" set up that's NOT a WS6 and no WS6 hood....

^ dude all our cars have about 350 crank horsepower. also, basically everything with the ws6 is either show or bs. they made things slightly better on paper to make it sound better but in reality the differences are so small they dont matter. the only performance difference between ls1 cars is tire size and weight. the ONLY advantage a ls1 vette has is weight, which is only a slight advantage.

Nice edit. The LS1 in the 'vette and WS6 is damn near the same.
No one is saying the T/A and WS6 is EXACTLY the same...there are some differences but enough to make a big performance difference? No, not at all. A hood, and some better shocks...to some people that isn't worth the $$. But motor for motor it's EXACTLY the same...performance is the same....
