^^^ I've read threads about this subject already. I run the K&N FIPK... Gains are similar. Bit some will say the FIPK pulls in HOT air from the engine bay... I dnt disagree but at 70+mph it's all cool air coming into my hood my my SS... Just my opinion. I bet 100+ will disagree

Me and my buddy swap intakes when he dyno his car and they wer only a couple HP different from each other. I just like the way the FIPK looks... EVERYBODY has a lid! With lid and LTs EVERY FBody engine bay looks the same lol... Isn't it true?

I'd do a ram air, I had an SLP "Ram Air" on my car which isn't the best one out there (it's for sale btw!) but I just bought a Fast Toys Ram Air off the classifieds for $50, just look and you can pick them up pretty cheap used.

After doing countless research on this board, I am going to run the Fast Toys 98mm (also known as there 85mm ID) lid along with the FTRA. I will eventually upgrade to an 85mm gm maf and better flowing intake manifold. You can purchase an adapter for the maf from fast toys so you are still able to run the stock maf with there lid as well. That way it will allow me "room to grow" when I decide to go heads/Cam and or larger displacement motor.

I also got an ls6 manifold for free for installing a Typhoon for a buddy I think I'm going to wait to install the 85mm MAF until I go in to get my next tune

I would go with a lid. I think it looks better (looks like it belongs, rather than an afterthought like the K&N setup) and performs the same or better for less money.

I forgot to mention I see alot of lids rub the hoods on camaros. Another reason I dnt buy one. Dnt get me wrong I would have like to keep it all SLP stuff. But not if it's going to rub the hood... And the headers hang down too low on the tune lengths.... And as for FIPK costing more isn't that true. After you buy new lid bellow and ram air your about the same cost with same gain.
