Slp lid problems? I just got my slp lid in the mail today. I bought the slp lid because people on the boards have said the lid fits really good. When I was putting it in my car I had tough time getting it to sit on the lower half of the air box. It took some pushing but I got the thing on and seated correctly. Did anyone else have a problem like this?
Also the neck of the lid also seemed to sit on the back half (closest to the engine) of the radiator shroud. This worries me because I am thinking that the air will be picking up heat from the radiator. Other than these "problems", the lid looks great and the car seams to pull a little harder in the upper rpm range. Now that it is under the hood I wish I would of done this sooner.

I can say the lid dose take a bit to get it to fit just wright. I had to trim my smooth bellows to get to move back a bit to engauge the tabs. But after that it was no problem, and worked great. As for being close to the shroud no problems there, just make sure the tabs are locked in in the back, and you will be fine. When I was NA I too noticed a increase with this lid, enjoy.
