Default Decal for lid poll

Im ordering my slp lid and I was thinking about getting the lid decals with hp and torque ratings on them. 02 SS's with exhaust and lid are rated at 345 horse, so seeing as to how my GMMG is on the way and Im getting a lid should they say 345 or 325 horse? What do you you guys think?

That sounds kinda stupid without a dyno as SLP is rating flywheel power (which is not quite accurate). Do you put Flywheel horsepower of Rear wheel horsepower on the decals? The SS option only provides a slightly better air lid and slightly better flowing exhaust for power: Which has shown to not give the advertised 25+ horsepower over a stock Z28. If you want to show off power get the plates from afterthoughts auto and place them anywhere on the car. They look great and look more official than decals. If your gonna put decals on you lid I think I should put some on my car that say 550 hp 550 tq . In my opinion decals on the lid would be tacky, but to each his own, Like Southfl said, if you want to do it then do it.

TransAmJo, Thats what Im talking about the ones from afterthoughts auto. They also sell a decal for the lid that looks real nice. Its the same as the one for the interior (that youre talking about) only its bigger and it goes on the lid. I was going to get both (interior and lid) but its knid of expensive because eventually I will have way more than 345 hp and Ill have to order new ones again. So I figured one for the lid to spruce it up a little for now.

I can also wait to order the decal and get the car dynoed with the lid and exhaust and put my rwhp #'s on there instead

I would'nt even bother with the decals, since your gonna mod it and your HP will grow,just mod it and then dyno that bioch and get a HP read out.
