Formula vs. Trans am

i didnt fully understand what you said. so forgive me if i misread. but did you say T/As have ram-air and LS6 intake manifolds?

TA 01-02 coming with Ws6 package have ram air and LS6 intake manifold.
98-00 TA don't have the ws6 package.
the ws6 package will nail an extra 10-15 rwhp over 98-00 TAs stock vs stock

wow... didnt know they came with LS6 manis. i thought the extra 10-15hp was flywheel and caused by the ram air

good stuff man. learn something new everyday

[shady milkman]

yea. the ram air is a marketing thing. at 150mph+ you get a lil extra but like 1 hp maybe..

[djvaly]

that's why the ls6 intake and better flowing catback is actually 15rwhp
the ram air is bogus. better buy the SLP cai kit (which I have) from in front of the radiator and gain the 5hp .. looks like a sleeper too. zoom zoom zoom.
PS. save your $800 and don't get the ram hood. shoot get some LT H and Y for that and will nail you 20-25rwhp.

Dude, get your info straight before perpetuating mis-information.

WS6 was an available option on T/As from '96-'02, and on Formulas from '96-'00.

The LS6 intake manifold that was added to the LS1 engines in '01-02 had NOTHING to do w/ the WS6 package. The LS6 intake helped make the 5HP increase that was seen across the f-bod board in '01+:

Base Z28, TA & Formula HP = 305 from '98-'00, 310 in '01 & '02

SS*/WS6 HP = 320 '98-'00, 325 in '01 & '02. (*SLP offered other options for more HP on SS)

dude, there may a WS6 package available on 98-00... but u have to pay extra... I'm talking stock.. zzzz.. also 01-02 have ws6 as stock not as an add on perfomance package that's why it is tied with the LS6 intake manifold.
as far as '96 u talking of LT1 TA cars not LS1... I checked my info and I stand by it, go back and do some research newbbie
most people will mod their '98-'00 as WS6 by getting ram air hood, LS6 instake and a WS6 emblem on the back,.. ohh big deal.

ram airs(ws6) have been around since 1998.
also a ws6 wont dyno 15 more h.p over a non ws6, its been proven here enough times.

non 01-02 ls1 cars have the ls6 intakes

[shady milkman]

non 01-02 ls1 cars have the ls6 intakes

what???? noooo the 01-02s have the ls6 intake. the 98-00 have the ls1 intake.

[djvaly]

ok u lost me.

hahahah...
let me break it down:
ram air hood has been around I guess previous than '01.. but...

'98-'00 are regular V8 LS1 TA. they do not have the ws6 package from factory, but may be optional. but most people do slap in the ram air hood and LS6 intake and call it a ws6.

'01-'02 are the real ws6 where they come out of the factory with the ws6 package installed. which included the ls6 intake, ram air hood and a better catback.

more like 10rwhp, but there's some mosnters out there

[djvaly]

non 01-02 ls1 cars have the ls6 intakes

nope, only 01-02 have ls6 intake. I have a '99 and had the ls1 intake. so do many other 98-00 folks I talk to.

no ws6 was an option for t/as from 98-02.

no they dont really dyno higher, maybe a few. but gm's hi build tolerances scew any type of dyno accuracy.

[djvaly]

word? I looked up GM and they mention nothing of the optional ws6 package 98-00.. that's strange. it may be that the dealer modded them?

[djvaly]

I dyno stock 290rwhp. then I see most ws6 folks claim 300-305rwhp. give or take a few I guess.

[djvaly]

here's a sticky,, great info. I always go back and check in there
some of the stuff I guess ws6 is optional for 98-00.. but GM don't say it on their site ?
