Default Lid to LS3 intake Question

Putting a set of 823's on top of my 6.0 with a ls3 intake, im wondering whats the best lid set up. since the ls6 intake and 799's are going away and going to a bigger diameter intake and was planning on using a LS7 MAF. Its not necessary but just trying to see how everyone else has been doing it, searching high and low but not really seeing to much

FTP 104 lid is the biggest one I know of. What size TB do you plan to use, 92?

I'm not saying it's the best, but I currently use the following.

AEM 28-20118 air filter
FastToys 104 lid (it has issues with cracking though)
Bohnman fast acting themistor
TSP 100mm MAF tube with LS3 MAF
Saxon PC 6:1 honeycomb
Intakehoses.com 22L40 intake tube
Nick Williams 92mm TB

yes right now i just have some off brand 92mm throttle body i was going to use. next year or so ill eventually throw ON3 twins kit on the car but right now for this season i was doing 823's and TSP F35 cam. Being the car has a 4k stall and 4.56 gears from already having a ms4 in the car i just opted for another donkey dick cam.

With my 104 lid to NW 102 TB I found the silicone 22 degree couplers many use made taking the lid on and off a major pain. I ended up getting a 4" spectre 9775 accordion style bellow that makes it a lot easier to get to the air filter. They may make a smaller diameter one for your 92mm setup, or maybe even this one would work depending on the OD of your MAF and TB.

Yeah, the top of mine is scuffed where it rubs against the bottom of the hood. I also found a crack in the leading edge a few nights ago, something like super glue may seal it.

as of now i was just gonna use my stock maf if i can fit it in there and when i went turbo i was going to switch to a ls7 style maf being the lid would go away and itll be easier to place a card style maf in tubing than the short space you have between the lid and throttle body

i thought about doing their smaller 98mm lid, but then i run into which maf which i was maybe just gonna end up using the stock maf for now until i went boost cause the lid goes away after that and itll be easier to switch to a card style with the room itll create getting rid of the short run between lid and throttle body

I used the Spectre 4" MAF housing with a 4.5" to 4" silicone reducer from Intakehoses.com to go from my FTP 104 to the MAF. Seems to work pretty well.
