Re: slp air lid?
have it.... recommend it...
i would not bother with the cai kit...
it might give you 1-2hp over your hood... way not worth it imo
get it..
biggest difference for the littlest money

Re: slp air lid?
air lid and the SS hood are a good combo, don't bother with the SLP cai...
if you want a more functional ramair setup though, look into the SSRA.
due to the routing of the air going through the SS hood it is more of a cai than a ramair.
look at it this way
if you took a stock z28 and put a lid and functional SS hood you would probably gain 10-12hp
if you installed the same lid and the SSRA on the Z28 you'd probably get at least 15-18hp
hard to say whether that 3-6hp gain with the SSRA over the SS hood is worth it to you.

buy a lid. any lid is better than stock but the slp's fitment is really good. some people have just smoothed out the ribs in there stock one. i went with the fast toys ram air and noticed a lot at higher speeds.

"Does anyone know a good OEM place for these things"
an OEM place to buy an aftermarket item? um ok...
not to mention...$80 for 10hp is pretty freaking nice. considering i paid $600 for 20hp with longtubes.

What about a functional SS hood WITH SSRA?

Re: slp air lid?
I said OEM because here http://www.xse.com/leres/ss/airlid.html
They clearly say their SLP lid was OEM. Is this just assumed?

You could get it as in extra option installed by SLP when they did the SS conversion along with the Auburn rear; dual dual exhaust; mats and fobs; etc. . So it would technically be OEM.
