I haven't been in the market for a lid since 2001, that's why I'm asking now. So TSP is the only one thats bigger these days? Is 85mm it?

I could search EVERY sponsor, but would rather surf LS1tech.com

TSP has been telling me that they are going to ship me my 85mm lid in 2 weeks for the past 4 months and still nothing. I guess they are waiting to get more in.

There have been rumors from time to time of bigger outlet lids, but nothing has ever come of it...kinda a shame at this point, and 85mm lids are hard to come by.

Here's an interesting thread. It seems the LG lid is pretty big too. It's worth a shot!

Actually... I just went out and looked at my old cracked whisper lid and my new MTI lid. They both measured just shy of 3-5/8" inner diameter where the MAF slides into... which is right at 92mm.

I'm really thinking that the 85mm lid is only necessary when using an 85mm MAF as the OD of the MAF is going to be larger than the stocker.

I believe I will just get a smooth bellows to run straight from the lid to the throttle body and call it a day. (Speed Density tune)

I'm also starting to think that a coupler from the Lid (regular ole lid size), to the MAF is going to be the same as getting an 85mm lid and sliding the MAF inside of it.

Hightempsilicone.com has tons of them.
