Damn i'm a newb... Well I got my SLP lid in today and I am getting ready to attempt to install it on my 01 ss. This is like the first thing i've ever done to a car besides change the oil/check the oil/fill the oil lol. Not that I am ignorant about motors completely, I just don't trust myself.
Any tips about installing the lid? It came with a new rubber gromment, a clamp, and 2 other rubber things that i have no clue what they are for, possibly the IAT sensor.
Also is all I would need is a screwdriver?

For the pushpins you can use the end of a flathead and pushup on them, another thing to do is when ur taking the stock lid and baffle off of the MAF, you might want to heat up the neck of it where it connects to the MAF, that can be a pain in the *** to get off, I got impatient and just cut mine off because I couldn't pull it off.

the rubber grommet the lid came with is for the side of the lid...+1 for heating the neck up with a hair dryer...I have 2 z28s both with lids, did one just last week,supposidly slp made a new mold and this time it was harder for me to slide it on.

Finished it a lil while ago, figured it out pretty easy...just used the flathead to wedge the MAF out just a bit then I pulled it out fairly easily.
Took the car for a drive and the acceleration felt smoother and it felt like it had a lil more pep to it. Nice investment of 80$

Yeah I was thinking a tr224 cam, because I personally don't want a big lopey cam on the street, but who knows if the tr224 gets boring I probably will end up with like a TSP Magic stick or TREX lol.

Just messing with you man. Congrats on the first mod!! And yes, a lid is probably the best $80 you can spend on your car.
