Thats the one I was looking at was the fast toys 104mm but was just wondering if anyone had a measurement on a slp, not only does it look cleaner but it's almost a hundred bucks cheaper

what size MAF do you run? if its a stocker, then just get a SLP. If you run a 85mm MAF then get the 98mm FTP. the larger 104mm FTP lid is for those guys running 100mm MAF's as chris1313 has shown there is no difference between it and the 98mm lid besides the larger neck.

There's no maf, it's speed density... It's got a "el cheepo" lid on it now that's around 90mm. I don't want the restriction everything else is 95mm(Willson tb) or bigger

Id go with the 98mm because it is pretty close to the size of your TB. The SLP fits the smaller mafs (stock or coupled to an 85) so i would go with the bigger lid. The Fast Toys are the only lids i know of with the bigger opening.

Upd is apparently out of business, but I intend on going direct port nitrous on a fast 102mm with the 102 mm tb as well... Guess the fast toys is a no brainer

Just took delivery of a 98mm fast toys, going speed density with a 102mm tb so a 4" coupling will connect both. I have had the fast toy lids before, they are alright. The plastic on this one feels kind of light.
