I have a couple of questions.

I have a '97 Trans Am (ram air package) w/ nitrous.

First I had someone say I had a WS6 and looking at the engine I was sure it was an LT1. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. It's definitely the 5.7. I think the guy got confused because it has the WS6 chrome rims.

Now I was under the impression that I could fit the '98+ body kit on it without any problems (from 2 fog lights to 4 I think). I loved the look of it with the valance and everything, it makes it look sleeker because it's lowered. So what front ends fit other front ends from '92 to '00

Next, I want to take out the ram air for the dual filter system used on Corvete LT-1s. I was going to use dual foam dragon filters. I curently have the bigger BBK throttle body and I'm not throwing an engine code, but I don't want to develop one either, but I used the dragon on one of my turbo applications and it just flowed so well that I want to use it on the naturally aspirated one (it's almost like using nothing at all!), plus I didn't know if it would actually give me any gains over puting in a K&N filter.

I think that's it for now. Thanks everyone for your help.

ok, lemme try to answer everything....

--ws6 is an appearance/performance package in your year and has nothing to do with your engine. In 93-97 all formulas and trans ams had LT1 engines. Typically WS6 packages give you a ram air hood, rims and some suspension differences. In 4th gen cars..if u had no ram air hood..then you don't have a WS6.

--a 98-02 front end conversion is doable, but tis far from "simple" and its not cheap. You need a new bumper, fenders, hood and head light assemblies. If u want a similar look of a 98+ WS6 package click on my car domain link to see my car...its has a suncoast creations predator hood..which makes it a WHOLE lot meaner looking, and blends in well..most people think it is factory. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/711131

--WS6 option cars aren't lower, but some have aftermarket body kits that make them look lower.

-- A dual cone filter might be a clearance problem, especially with a stock 93-97 hood. There is no where to put it except right on top at the throttle body, and if the cones are as big as i think they are...its never gonna happen. With a ram air hood..you might be good tho.

--im not familiar with dragon filters, but K&N also claims better breathing then no filter at all. I have a K&N ram air box.
