Default best lid for ls juan

I have a 98 camaro ls1, There are a ton of lids out there, what is the best one out there. Currently I have long tubes, offroad y pipe, borla catback, i am purchasing a stall and will be getting my cam as soon as I save up the additional 400 for a tune asap. Any help I am a ford guy so I know them like the back of my hand.

Probably no one will answer this question because almost all lids are equal. I have an SLP. It's good. The end.

Thumbs up

IMO, get the SLP lid.
The SLP lid is the best lid I've had, the other two both (abs plastic) didn't fit very well and cracked.

Unless ... Maybe maybe if you go with a lid that has larger diameter like FTP 92 and 102 lids you prolly will get a gain. If you just get a regular aftermarket lid ... just get one cheap that looks good and that you like. Make sure it has no cracks etc.

Those can not be expected on a stockish car. That is typical, if not low, for those mods.

I like the SLP lid best too. Factory look. I've had three lids so far so I've been able to make comparisons.

A lot of fitment issues is not installing it correctly.
