Aftermarket Lid or Stock 01 WS6 Induction

Hey guys just wondering what the best induction system would be to use on a 2001 WS6? Or would it just be best to drop a filter into the stock box. Thanks

Texas speed & performance lid and the BGRA kit would rock on your ride.

Brian green ram air kit (I think Brian Green is the right name). It will seal the 1-2" gap between the nostrils of your hood and the airbox. It costs about $300.00 and has been known to gain 2/10 at the track. The faster you go the more this kit proves worthy of the money spent.

A lot of people say it's over-priced (which it is) and make something themselves but I personally could not tell you what to use. It's worth it IMO because the ram air affect is much stronger and produces more HP when air is not escaping through that gap.

JD, are you shopping for Perry?

BGRA (Ram Air) is an improved ram air system (Similar to FTRA by Fast Toys, but uses the head on approach) for TAs. Won't work with Camaros of course.

The filter is negligible for gains. Get a lid (Direct flo, SLP, TSP, or whoever... off the Pasrts for sale section if you want) and the BGRA and that is a great combo. Definitely get rid of the stock lid with the baffles.
