If you can find an old issue (don't remember what month or year but it was within the last two years) of GM HighTech magazine the did a comparo with all the lids you listed. If I'm not mistaken the SLP lid was their choice.

They Are All Pretty Much The Same But I Am Pretty Sure Mti Lids Fit Better But The Slp Lid Dosent Require A Breather Filter Like Most Other Aftermarket Lids.

Forgot to add, I believe the company that won the shootout mentioned above is located in southern Indiana (within 45 minutes of me) but I could never get them to answer the phone, gave up and bought the SLP air lid.

GMHTP magazine did an article on them and tested all the major ones on the market and they all provided the same performance gains. The SLP did however have the best fit and finish of them all. But they are basically all the same, so just fo into the for sale forum and get a used one.

Yes the SLP lid was the best in the GM HI TECH test.
As for fitting takes a bit of adjustment. Mine did rub on the hood, but I found by backing out the hood stops a small amount took care of that problem. With out even messing up the hood to fender gaps.

Just a little FYI I bought an SLP lid back in April and haven't had any issues with it rubbing yet. But like everyone said they all flow about the same.
