Default what size lid should i go with?

i'm changing my entire induction from stock 78mm to 85mm and need to know if i should go with either TSP 98mm or 106mm. the setup i'll have is a descreened SLP 85mm maf, smooth bellow, power products 85mm tb, and a BBK 85mm intake.

Really won't help out as much as if you were to swap out your intake... Go with and LS2 Intake and have it ported. And really going bigger ain't gon hurt you.

I will swap from the ls1 to the bbk. I looked into the ls2 intake but didn't wanna mess with the relocation I'd have to make.

I just got a FTP 98mm lid and it slides right onto the 85mm SLP MAF I have with no bullshit coupler.

while the 106 will give you room to grow...i can't imagine you'll gain anything over the 98mm.

and you could run into clearance issues

True, but I picked up some forgelines today, and the guy gave me an 85mm lid and bellow.
