From what I've heard, a lid is a lid. It comes down to preference as to whether you want a clear, smoked, or black one. There is a test floating around here that has flow results...... I believe that all lids were within a couple HP of each other. I have the SLP lid and the fitment is good and I am happy with it.

Based on an article I read, and made notes on, I plan to buy either a SLP or TSP (Texas Speed) lid. Here are the numbers:
TSP = +11 hp, +9 tq, + 1.2 mph, $95
SLP = +11 hp, +10 tq, + 1.1 mph, $100
Others:
LGM G2 = +5 hp, + 11 tq, + 1 mph, $90
MTI = +6 hp, + 3 tq, + 1.4 mph, $100
NON_SPONSOR = +10 hp, + 7 tq, + 1 mph, $75
Whisper = +11 hp, + 10 tq, +0.6 mph, $140
The TSP and SLP lids had the best combination of gains in hp, tq, and trap speed in the 1/4 mile. That is why, according to this article at least, I plan to buy a SLP or a TSP lid. As a bonus, not many people complain about fit, finish, or breakage on those two either.

Also, SLP uses a material like the stock lids instead of the ABS type plastic like most others. Any will do the job, but the SLP (and I'm not an SLP fan) has a great fitting lid.

The guys are right the top 3 or 4 lids are very close to the same as far as performance gains! Get one that has good customer support, offers a good warranty & looks like it will hold up the best That being said I do have a few of the new Texas Speed lids in stock now & we have a few of the 85mm lids on the way incase your considering going 85mm maf!!
