Question What large opening Lids WON'T hit/rub on SS hood?

I currently have one of the old LS1 Motorsport lids and never had a problem with it.

With my new combo, I'm going to need a new lid that has a larger opening for a larger MAF.

What ones out there actually fit well and won't rub on the bottom of the SS hood?

I would like a clear one if possible.

^ IIRC, the ID on the SLP lid is 90mm.
The OD on the inlet end of the 85mm MAF is appx 98mm
The OD on the exit end of the 85mm MAF is approx 93mm.

SLP lid ID is 90mm
SLP lid OD is 100mm.

What MAF are you looking at? LS1 motorsports lid should be pretty similar. I think a Delphi 85mm should work if you use a coupler around the outside of the lid. I just sold my SLP lid and I'm kinda wishing I hadn't.

Its been a while....

I will probably be buying a Abaco 85mm MAF. Yes they are expensive but they cancel out noise and the cam pulses.

So the SLP Lids dont rub on the SS hoods?

This confuses me.

My SLP lid has rubbed my SS hood since the day it was put on.
