Stock Hood vs Ram Air Hood for Air Intake

**SMWS6TA** · 04-08-2009, 06:06 AM

If I have a stock non-ram air hood, can I still put on a SLP air box?

$$ are a little tight for now, so I can't afford both at the moment. But I want to do some much need mods to car.

I would like to know the answer to that too....in the same boat...I was actually thinking about getting the hood and the box after....there is a big difference in height in the air intake opening though....

Anyone know?

slp air box??? the raised airbox that came with the ws6s ? ..i dont see why not..but i doubt you will gain anything from it.

If your talking about just the SLP lid...then yes, you can use it with the sleak beak hood.

Just get a Lid (any will do)
The raised airbox will show no benifit on a non Ram Air car plus it won't clear the hood anyway.

I guess i mis-spoke...I mean SLP Air-Box Lid.

Has anyone got their (SLP) cold air package? If so, worht the cost or just get the lid and call it good?

I had a cold air intake and a throttle body space. Ran that for 6-8 months. I recently got the SLP lid and put it back together, mainly because of show season. Like night and day. Doesnt have the seat in the pants pick up. I still have the cold air setup, but since I dont race I will let it gather dust. But if you want power, night and day, cold air.

hey back when I first got my car years back my lid said "LS1 motor sports" on it, since then it has warn off some idiot at a auto shop leaned his hand on it and rubbed it off but who the hell makes that?

If you want the best performance improvement, combine an aftermarket air lid with our Fast Toys Ram Air Kit (FTRA). It brings in cold air from the high pressure spot under the vehicle and routes it up into a sealed air box.

People typically see 1-1.5 MPH improvement in the quarter mile, better throttle response and better fuel economy.

You can check out our web site for more info. We also manufacturer the highest flowing air lid on the market as well

Rain is fine. You just want to avoide puddles deep enough to immerse the chin spoiler (which is really deep). The FTRA also comes with a block off plate to disable the kit if you want to be 100 % back to stock set up for really bad weather.
