It is in the May 2004 issue. Although the performance of the lids were similar, the SLP and Motorsport Technologies lids produced the best ET gains. I personally prefer the SLP lid. It fits great, and have a clean "factory" trype look to it.

 

Same here. I like the clean look.

 

Yeah i saw and own a few issues of books that all say MTI lids are the best in certain gains. MTI for ME.

 

My Whisper lid fits like CRAP.

I dont know what the problem is. I can't get it to align properly. When I put the clamps down on it, they usually pop right off. It takes me like 5 minutes to moving it slightly here and there just to get the two clamps to actually clamp down. But even then, they usually pop off a few minutes later or when I shut the hood.

Do i I have a mis-machined lid? It's starting to get on my nerves.

 

What exactly is the Free Ram Air mod? I thought it was highly undesirable? How do you do it?

 

That is a (dirty) lid.

"Lid" is short for "airbox lid". It gives the air a smoother path from the air filter into the engine and should be the first mod you do, followed shortly by a 3" catback exhaust. With only those two mods, I routinely walk stock C5 Corvettes on the highway (and a couple times at the drag strip).

Pick your favorite based completely on looks. They all cost about the same.

The previous owner of my car seems to have picked the ugliest one there is. I like the SLP lid for looks, personally.

 

Has anyone ever heard of "Cool Lids"?

A guy I know back at home station just bought a 35th Anni SS and he knows almost NOTHING about the car. So he found a cheap lid and bought it.

He won't listen to my sugestions.
