WS7 Complete List
As stated below a WS7 is a Regular TA Converted to WS6. But what all is converted?
Here is the compiled list of what i have seen thats different.
-->Shifter
-->Hood
-->17" Wheels with 275 series tires
-->Taller Airbox
-->SLP Exhaust(headers and catback or just catback?)
-->Shocks and springs
I've heard a while ago there was an oil cooler?
Is there anything else that i'm missing?

17" wheels w/275/40/17 Eagles (`96-97 GSC's `98-`02 F1's)
stiffer springs (1LE from `96-`00)
32mm front swaybar
powersteering cooler
Ram Air Hood w/Taller Airbox
Slightly better flowing Catback (Muffler Only all pipe sizes are same as base V8 cars)

How much taller is the airbox? Is it worth finding one or can I just mod the one that I have?

I thought a 'WS7' was the name given to a TA that was converted to a fully functional ram air car with an open filter that took in air directly from the hood. Generally, the hood is aftermarket and is designed to flow air better than the stock ram air hood. Most people get their hoods from Suncoast Creations from what I hear.

to me the concept of callin your trans am a ws7 is that its modded to top a stock ws6 in some way, whether you start with a base ta or a ws6. this could mean, compaired to a stock ws6, better flowing induction/hood, larger/wider wheels, suspension upgrades, the list could go on and on. btw, imo the suncoast hood is looks cheap compaired to a oem ram air. it is not very good replica.

WS6 WS7 whats the difference all that stuff that makes them different from one another your going to change out anyways with the exception of the hood and lower air box
90% of all regular TAs made that are out there are modded WAY better then any stock WS6 and you end up saving money in the long run for more mods

Suncoast sells them. Its a kit with their hood. I cant wait till taxtime... I want a OEM ram air hood.. Suncoast is damn fine but I hate the way it rubs on the lid and the poor grill manufacture.
