General Info to some common questions [Archive]

Ok everyone, Post up. I know this is a very common question and I'll lay down the basics. But I know I may miss a few.

What is the difference between a T/A and a WS6 and how can I tell if it's a real WS6 or not?

WS6 in general is an appearance and suspension option offered on T/A's and Formula's. SOme common dead giveaways of a true WS6 is the hood and the components that go with it. The airbox is taller than a stock T/A's to tate up with the Ram Air hood. Also the WS6's came with a sportier suspension, ie, decarbon shocks. Badging on the rear is a definate identifier. Besides the badging, the best way to know for sure is the door sticker on the inside of the drivers side door where you'll see the code "WS6"

What's the differences between the years?
In 1998, the T/A was introduced with the LS1 for the first time. These LS1's came with perimeter bolt valve covers instead of centerbolt and the coil packs were not on a bracket but rather individually bolted onto the valvecover. Other noteable differences were larger fuel injecters and the famous OTL exhaust "One on the Left" Where one single exhaust tip exited on the drivers side. The exhaust was a much more free flowing exhaust system than the later years. In 1998 the EGR system was definately present with a tube going directly into the intake manifold. Many either completely delete the EGR or trim the tube going into the manifold to incease the flow of intake.

In 1999, the exhaust because a little more restrictive with the introduction of dual exiting exhaust but smaller piping. EGR was present but they also downgraded the fuel injectors to I believe 26 lbs from 28 lbs. Other than that, the T/A remained relatively unchanged.

In 2000, The EGR was relocated and injectors were stepped back up to 28 lbs from 26. The introduction of an Air tube into the induction lid was also included.

In 2001 and 2002, everything remained relatively the same with the exception of an LS6 manifold instead of the stock LS1 manifold. HP increase by about 10hp. In 01 and 02, some T/A received an LS6 block due to a casting shortage of LS1 blocks. SO if you are curious if you have an LS6 block, below the rear of the drivers side head is a block casting number. If the last 4 digits are 1168, then you've got an LS6 block

That all I can think of at the moment. Feel free to add on to this thread or correct me if I'm wrong. I'm only human not an encyclopedia!

Beware of dealers or private parties selling non WS6's with ASC style hood. Always check your door sticker or verify the vin with me first. I've had a few ppl tell me that's happened to them. VERIFY PPL!:rubeyes:

The HP increase from the 98-00 years to the 01-02 years was only 5, from 305 to 310.
The single left outlet exhaust on the 98s was only on WS6s and SS cars, not the regular models.
The 98s had a more radical camshaft, not sure of the specs though.
01-02s had better exhaust manifolds.
Also with the introduction of the LS6 manifold in 01, EGR was eliminated.

This is all I can think of now..
Not arguing but beg to differ about that horsepower increase. I may also be wrong but wasn't 98-00 315 and 01-02 325. Pretty sure internet and pontiac place agreed.

I found some info I state the comment and the site. The engine in the base Coupe or Convertible is the 3800 (3.8-liter) V6, yielding 200 horsepower and 225 foot-pounds of torque. The 5.7-liter V8 (overhead-valve LS1 with aluminum cylinder block and heads) comes in the Formula and Trans Am in two versions: 310 horsepower and 340 foot-pounds of torque or, with the WS-6 Ram Air package, 325 horsepower and 350 foot-pounds of torque. http://www.nctd.com/review-intro.cfm?Vehicle=2001_Pontiac_Firebird&ReviewID=886

so like everyone and their mother has the WS6 package and like none are stock..

what about WS7? :hmm:

01WS6_4_ME

11-27-2005, 09:50 PM

There were an assload of regular T.A.'s converted to WS6 (I think roughly a third in 02) the last couple of years. Thousands more than the 3rd gens. So yes, there are a lot of WS6's running around. A WS7 is a regular TA that started life as just that, a regular T.A. and was converted by the owner to look like the WS6; ie hood, air box, wheels, and exhaust. They even made a badge for it. Just as good as a WS6 but costing thousands less since the WS6 package was an extra 3k+ on the sticker for what is mostly appearance.

01WS6_4_ME

12-03-2005, 08:42 AM

so is it a fake?

No, a WS7 is a WS7. A fake would be someone sticking a WS6 badge on the back and buying all the accessaries ie wheels, hood ect. Poser. That's why someone came up with the WS7 so people would know that while it looked like the factory WS6 they actually save theirselves a ton of money and got all the same stuff on theirs and did it themselves. They still get respect. Someone once said, immitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Regarding the WS6, and careful not offend the WS7 owners. All the badging and bolt-on's in the world, if for free, couldn't replace the kick's I get driving my ordinary T/A. "It's not what you got,...It's how you use it!" I've got nothing technical to contribute, but have enjoyed this read....Thanks.

What is a quatroport hood vs the TA hood? Can you give more details?

01WS6_4_ME

02-19-2006, 07:22 PM

Well I'm sure you've seen a regular TA hood and a WS6 hood. The regular has two inlets and the WS6 hood adds two more inlets to that on top of the regular ones to accomodate the higher airbox opening of the WS6. 2 upr and 2 lwr. Thus the name quatroport.

Josh2002WS6

02-21-2006, 07:44 AM

Oh ok, I thought you meant a fake Ram Air Hood. I was thinking to deep instead of the regular hood and the high WS6 hood. Thanks.

Basically a stock firehawk (untouched by SLP) gets a different hood, wheels, and exhaust as well and I think some other suspension stuff. You could order a 345 hp SLP package on them though which wasn't avail on the WS6. Now, the one thing firehawks don't get which I believe gives the WS6 owners the ever so slight advantage (and usually only at higher speeds) is the raised airbox. They have the tiny opening like the regular TA's. Anyone else care to chime in??

One thing yet to be mentioned here (and I see this question all the time):

I know the following to be valid for LS1 ('98-'02) f-bods, and believe it to be valid for LT1 ('93-'97) f-bods as well.

All 4th gen 6-speed (M6) cars came w/ 3.42 posi rears. SLP offered a couple of posi options (Torsen, Auburn, etc) on SS and 'Hawks, but no variations on the ratio AFAIK.

The standard rear gear in V8 automatic (A4) cars was 2.73, w/ 3.23 offered as an option. The SS, Hawk and WS6 cars w/ A4s required this 3.23 gear as a "mandatory" option.

I'm nearly positive that all V8 4-gen f-bods had posi-trac differentials standard.

Also, clarification on the factory HP ratings of non-SLP-optioned LS1 f-bods:

'98-'00 rated 305 HP, 320 w/ SS, WS6
'01-'02 rated 310 HP, 325 w/ SS, WS6

Hi everyone, I am new on here and just wanted to chime in on the diffs between a T/A and a WS.6. One difference that no one mentions is that WS.6's have a spacer between the rubber jounce bumper and the frame over the rear axel to provide for the bigger wheels. The SS's have these too. Just thought I would add my two cents. Rich

What do you mean "untouched by slp"? The firehawk package starts out as a T/A and is sent to slp! Okay so it sits in their lot and they send it back "untouched".. wtf! Do ur homework, the firehawk package starts like at 4 grand over the sticker...What ever, My 02' got a "blackwing" lid from slp which is better than stock. A fiberglass hawk hood which I believe all hawk buyers got, is ram air with heat extracters built in to the hood, slp powerflow exhaust, suspension ugrade which was the bare minimal of what was offered , then the apperance package wheels and decals mats etc. and its sweet..:yup: .

Well, that chaps my A$%. I guess the fact that it didn't have 17" wheels and say "RAM AIR" on the air box should have told me something. Oh, and the fact that it didn't have WS6 listed with the other codes. Well, at least I know where I stand.

Thanks

Well if you took the time to convert it; meaning wheels, hood, airbox, and such, then you could technically look for a badge they make that says WS7 to put across your rear bumper where the WS6 would go, signifying that while you don't have a true WS6, you did take the time to get it looking like one and yours will probably be faster b/c you spent that extra money we paid for all the stock crap that gets thrown out anyway (ie: lid, exhaust) for the better flowing aftermarket components. Just my 2 cents.

Go for the cheap stuff first: LS1 motorsports lid and filter <--that's just one option of many to choose from. SLP loudmouth exhaust<---again read previous. Get a set up eibach springs, a panhard rod, and some subframe connectors. Once you do that, you're gonna get expensive. But, after doing that you are set up for more power; you can start thinking about changing out the cam, headers, electric cutout, driveshaft loop, and TA girldle. These alone will bring you over 400hp. After that you need to get a 9" or a 12 bolt b/c the rears in our beloved T.A.'s are....well lets face it, crap and they can't handle much more than that if they are going to be track abused with say a pair a nitto drag slicks.
And that my friend is just for starters.......mod on.

I have some questions. My fog lights only work when I have my lights on, it would be nice if they worked independently of the head lights...is there any way to do this?

Also, I was thinking about purchasing a preformance chip for my TransAm. Any advice?

As far as the fog lights, you would have to hook them directly to the battery in order to have them work independantly of your driving lights. You know you can just turn the headlamp knob to the first position which turns on your driving lights and your dash lights and this will operate your fogs without your headlights right?? I used to do that all the time. As far as a chip, I've heard good things about Predator and one other, but the name is escaping me at the moment. You don't really need that kind of item though until you do some major upgrades such as a head/cam/header package or supercharger where you need to mess with the fuel/air delivery. If all you have is an intake and exhaust, it's probably a waste of money at this point. Just my humble opinion. Anyone else care to chime in??

11-03-2006, 02:03 PM

I don't know if anyone mentioned it but , the ram air cars were the only ones to come with factory 17" wheels.

I believe they were 305 in the LT1 form and 320 HP in 98-00. 01 &02 were claimed to be 10 more HP.

Fire hawks started out at 315 in LT1 form and in 99 when they brought them back out, I think the claim was 328 due to better flowing exhaust, with the same jump in HP in 01-02. I say when they brought them back out as they didn't make a 98 from what I know.

I agree with you on the mods for the programmer but, wouldn't it be benificial even in his form for timing and other small stuff ? At that point when he does more mods he can go back in and change what he needs. I'm not the best with this cause after I had my heads fixed after overreving the motor(long story)I installed the full exhauset and had it dyno tuned with a laptop.I haven't had to deal with a programmer.

Thanks! I am saving my $$$ for a super cahrger and when it hits 100,000 miles, then I will seriously consider putting one on. Yes...I know that about the fog lights. I want to be able to just turn them on and not have to have my headlight flipped up. So how do I do that? How do I connect the fog lights to my battery?

anniversary30

11-04-2006, 11:00 AM

You should be able to turn them on with just the parking lights on.I believe someone already mentioned it.When the lights are off, turn the headlight switch 1 notch to the right,this should not pop up the headlights.If it does then there is something wrong.After you turn the switch 1 notch go just below the headlight switch and turn on the fog lamps.If this does not work, something is wrong.I'm not trying to be a smartass but it came from the factory being able to do this.

If you can't get this to work then something else electrical is messed up or wired wrong to prevent this.

Again, all you have to do is turn on your parking lights. Which like we said is just 1 notch to the right from "OFF" on the headlamp switch. As long as the fog light switch is turned on also, they should come on with your parking lamps. I never turned my fog light switch off. PM me with your # if you'd like and I'll walk you through it. Also to piggy back on anniversary, unless you are planning on dyno tuning, then the programmer is a waste of money right now b/c you really need to see what kind of power you're making and where with the mods you got on a chassis dyno to really make a noticeable difference.

OK, there is a problem...my head lights do not do that. What could the problem be? When I trun the knob to the right, weither my fog light are on or off my "eyelids" pop up. The lights are not shining, but still poped up. I want them to stay down, but have my fog lights on.
My car is too fast for me as it is! Going from a sunfire to this...BIG difference! I only have 40,000miles on it...so I have some time to think about what i want to do. How do you find out all the stats on your vehicle? The man I bought it from said he switched out the axel for a preformance ratio axel? What does that do? Make it faster?

one of two ways to find out what you have. take your car and VIN# to a Pontiac dealership, have them run the vin and print off all the options and standard equipment that was ordered for the car. OR if you have a production number/code number book you can read the codes that are on the inside of your drivers door and match up codes that way to see what you have. Code research is fun...lol, esp in my profession :cuss:

WS7 simply means someone took a regular Trans Am & added their own WS6-style hood, & other aftermarket parts.

To put it bluntly, It sound like someone made up some goofy name to sound 'cool', ...

GM under rated the 98-02 TAs at 305-320 at flywheel so that the Vette people keep buying, instead of getting a TA for 1/2 price. :)

in reality LS1 engines used for TAs are about 340-355 at crank.. that's why everybody on LS1.com was getting 285-295rwhp stock. based on 98-02 differences u'd get a variation of power in the range mentioned above.

LS1 engine: "It is an all-aluminum 5.7 L (346 in³) pushrod engine and was rated between 288 - 345 hp (212 to 257 kW) and 325-350 ft·lbf (439-475 N·m) of torque in North America, depending on the application. However, regardless of application, the LS1s used in vehicles would usually produce an actual 345 hp (257 kW) measured at the flywheel."

here's some literature...

WS7 simply means someone took a regular Trans Am & added their own WS6-style hood, & other aftermarket parts.

To put it bluntly, It sound like someone made up some goofy name to sound 'cool', ...

That's what I thought...but he's selling it for alot! 25,000miles for $25,000! I got mine for $22,000 w/ 9,000miles. It doesn't seem worth it!

Ive got a 2000 Trans Am with that dumb EGR tube sticking out of it. Can this be totally removed without any tuning consequence? Will the Service Engine Light go on?

FORD RECOVERY EXPERT

you can remove it, but it will need to be deleted from your computer, or you will get the ses light, (aka the mil-malfunction indicator lamp)

Hey guys. look im very new at this kinda thing and such a noob to trans ams. I very recently purchased a beautiful 00' trans am with ram air. the car is an automatic and aside from the how to stop and go i have no knowledge of the car. So basically i told u that to discourage you from laughing me out when i ask this... the air box in the engine bay. i guess that sits under the ram air hole, mine doesnt have one. i just have a filter there no box over it or anything just a bare HUGE filter that looks like it goes on a truck. every picture ive ever seen there is always been a box over that. could someone explain this to me or tell me if i should buy one. if you could reply on here or IM on aim _Bigbobo1_ thanx a lot guys

it is a TA with a non ram air package. that's all, that's how my '99 TA is.
it is totally fine, make sure it is an authentic LS1 car... check the vin # and make sure it is a 2000 TA. well in terms of getting a "ram air" package for the engine bay you could do that but then you'd need the ram air hood as well (with the 2 ram air notrils) the hood with ram air nostrils will cost 600-700 and then you're most likely going to have to paint it too... so about 800-900 there.... OR you can so what I did, but an SLP cold air induction kit for $150 bucks from www.slponline.com and install it to suck air from under the car (in front of the radiator) and that way you get the air flow of ram air package but you save 800 bucks in not buying a new hood. my 2 cents.

plus your ride looks like a sleeper non ram air. ;)

(shady salesmen. grr.) .that seems like it is a smart idea but my car already has a ram air hood. also where do i find my vin # and what am i looking for. also since i do have the hood and all what is the best course of action im pretty ticked about this. if u suggest what you do could u explain how to go about installing it and such. im sorry to be so ignorant idk anythin about t/a

carfax.com, check the year and make/model of the car, if it's a '97 or earlier it is an LT1... or just post a pic here, we'll tell you imediately, a pic of engine bay and side shot.

Wow, that looks like a LT1 WS6 airbox......:screwy: The hood is definitely aftermarket. I'm afraid you don't have a WS6.

Waiting to purchase till I hear back.

Are there other ways to verify a car as a Genuine WS6? Any photos of the door sticker so I can know what to look for? Can I look at the suspension and tell? The car does have an aluminum drive shaft. Does that confirm it?

Any and all help would be appreciated. I tried to send 01WS6_4_ME a PM, but I don't see how to do that on this board. All I can do is send an email.

Anxiously awaiting confirmation so I can make purchase...
