the whole slp package minus the lid is junk

buy a lid (just pick one theyre all the same) and get the SSRA

why bother with the hp rating? it wont show on a dyno therefore its not really measureable.

its very effective when youre moving, and the faster you go, the higher the gains. its the best you can buy unless you have a t/a

If you can tune I would go with a fasttoys 85MM lid and find a stock 85MAF. I got a maf on here for 65$. If you cant tune go with and SLP lid.

i think that ws6store has something called a JAAM ram air, look into that, basically an SSRA made for the T/A's hood. still need a lid though

Well heres my 2 cents worth. Not saying anything bad about anybodys lids. I like the MTI clear lid with Fast Toys Ram Air. Theres just something about a clear lid that catchs the eye at the drag strip when you got your hood up between rounds. Now Fast Toys has put out a new 85MM setup thats making good #s I hear. But I haven't seen one in person yet, However if Fast Toy needs a southern test car tell them to let me know. I run their 304 rec. tips too!

If your car is not a RAM air from the factory then I say buy it. But I wouldnt buy the slp one get the whisper one its got an extra piece of sheet metal that extends to bottom of black spoiler underneath the car.
