Default which lid?

I have a LS1 motorsports direct flo lid now and it is warping a little. The TSP lid has since come out and I am curious if there is a better lid, i'm happy with the direct flo.

As far as performance.. Lid is a lid, is a lid.

Build quality varies. Where is it warping?

TSP and SLP seemed to have the best results, highest HP, TQ and trap speeds. I am going to go with TSP, it seems to be one of the best out there.

The SLP Lid had the most Power and Torque. The SLP, TSP, ANd MTI did the best at the track.

MTI- 2.10 60' and went 12.92@110.24
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.

Im still torn between lids from what I've heard and read there all the same for power I think im going to go with the clear MTI lid on my 99 WS6 just because of how it looks..i think the clear lid looks sick...I've heard it warps easy because it's the thinest one because of it being clear but im not too worried about that since the car isn't my daily driver.
