Your Ion RL gets better gas mileage? My buddy has a bone stock Ion RL and he averages 23 on the highway. I have a cammed 408 w/ 3.89 gears and I still get 25 on the highway.

Here's the RPO codes from my WS6.


A black '99 WS6 isn't rare at all... in fact it's probably the most common WS6 ever made.

does the car manual say 1999 WS6? I highly doubt it.,, I got a '99 TA as well.

prior to '01 GM has contracted SLP to do ws6 package for them, yeah ws6 has been around for lt1s etc.. but for ls1 98-00 SLP has been contracted to do them, they are not GM ws6 factory made. from a customer perspective buying a new '99 TA ws6 is seamless... it looks like GM did it but their internal process went through SLP for that...

SLP doesn't make any LS1 WS6, ASC does them.

As mentioned already, WS6's are not rare. Also, SLP had nothing to do with the WS6 LS1 Ram Air package or lid. SLP was involved with the Fire Hawk "package".
