i really wants me one of thems. i had a thought the other day. how does the location of the nostrils(?) on the ws6 hood compare with the louvers on a stock t/a hood. could i just cut away some of the stuff on the hood so i would be like ram air, and just buy the air box, or would that make it structurally(sp?) weak?

It should be fine. Get the bolt on WS6 RA II center piece and cut your stock hood.

From what I've been told, the lourvers don't have enough surface area to make that big of a difference. Perhaps if you could bump up one edge of it to grab more air?
