I have had a few of them and I would have to say the SLP fits the best and the plastic doesn't crack like many of the others. It's a more flexible plastic.

I've seen a few of the Fast Toys 85mm lids in person, and they seem to be of a higher quality fitment then any lids I've dealt with in the past... I'll say that my TSP lid I just got rid of fit pretty bad... I keep hearing they are working on a new 100mm model. Curious to see how that turns out...

currently I have a volant. Great for sealing, bad for fitment (because of the shroud)...

Clear MTI is most definitely NOT it. I have one - quality was pretty poor, had cracks I had to seal, and fitment was... less than ideal. SLP or a FT85mm.

I've had an MTI, SLP, and now Fast Toys. The MTI fit good, but it cracked. The SLP was absolutely terrible, and the Fast Toys fits and looks awesome.

my 02 WS6 and my 99 WS6 are the only cars ive seen with an SLP lid that didnt hit the hood. for some reason every LS1, even the other WS6s ive seen, the SLP lid hits the hood.

i guess im lucky.

I've had the SLP and now the Fast Toys 85mm. They both fit well....I prefer the looks of the Fast Toys lid though.

ive had the MTI black lid and currently have the SLP lid and the SLP lid by far is the best hands down as far as fit and quality.

its a shot in the dark if you cant tell already.

all hte lids have their proponents and naysayers, so take a chance with one that you think looks good or that you find a good deal on, youve got just as much chance of a good fitment as with any other one

Well, I have the SLP Lid now. Alot of people say that it doesn't seal properly, so I figured I might try another one. Ok here's another ?...What about getting the 85mm Fast Toys air lid and a 85mm Throttle body? I have a stock motor, would I be wasting my money on the 85mm setup? Thanks
