Question FTRA question

Will my SLP lid bolt up to a FTRA setup? Or do I need a new one from Fast Toys?

The FTRA has no effect on the lid, everything is underneath the airbox. So no need to change lids. I've got a 9 year old LS1 Motorsports lid with an 8 year old FTRA kit. Actually surprised Fast Toys is still around, good to see being everyone else ripped off their idea!

Is there a any real change in the performance in the car that you can feel?

Yes, especially above 80mph.

In two weeks I will be getting it! Is it difficult to install with regular hand tools or do I need anything special?

Hand tools, easy to install. Grab a utility knife as well and buy some foam rubber to seal your existing airbox. No need to use the 'block off plate' they include, I'm lowered and have driven through some horrific rain, never used it. Of course that's up to you.
