Actually, all lids are not the same. If so, then why did some lids dyno higher than others? As much as 5 rwhp difference in a couple cases. Though most did see essentially the same power at the wheels, there were a couple others that were clearly not up to snuff.

I'm on my 3rd lid ( MTI now ) in 5 years, they are the same. The other 2 cracked eventually ( Direct-Flo and Whisper ).

SLP- 2.14 60' and went 12.94 @ 110.04
TSP- 2.20 60' and went 13.07 @ 110.00

If they all had the 2.10 short time that the MTI lid had the SLP would have been the quickest with a 12.90, and the TSP would have been about a 12.97 or so.

I just bought a SLP, because the build quality and fitment are great. My brother has one on his 02 Z-28 and it works great. Plus the one on my car, which I got when I purchased my Nitrous Kit is a whisper lid, and It doesn't have the best fitment.The Slp performed better at the track then my lid.
Umm, Sorry, but 'testing' with those kind of 60ft is nearly worthless (especially with an A4).the MTI did the best because it had the best of those horrible 60fts.

What's the normal correction factor for a rw dyno?

I'll give you a hint.. it's the same number you typed

Man I have SLP lid and I hate it compare to the FIPK that I had on 99 ss that got totald. If you are willing to spend the money on a lid then just get the FIPK. I am going to buy it soon and giving my K&N filter and lid to my best friend for his SS for FREE cuz I did not get the same power as the FIPK gave my other LS1

Umm, the testing was done in an M6 with a fixed pcm so it didn't adjust anything such as a/f ratio and that junk. It was running nittos, and I said if they all had equal 60's the SLP would have been the quickest. so......

Love my direct-flo lid. I just didn't see spending more on a lid when a lid is a lid is a lid.

The fit and finish of my SLP lid is excellent, I'm very pleased with it.
