SLP is made of the same (more durable) material as the OEM lid. It will last longer. That was why I chose mine. SLP is the only company I know of that makes their lids out of the same material. Less prone to cracking. SLP did at least one thing right.
Wow, my MTI lid is 5-1/2 years old! I better throw it away since it should not last right? lol
Looks like the day I bought it.
Don't be bias since you have a SLP lid.
Peace,
Craig.

That article said SLP (I think) showed more power on the dyno, but the MTI was the fastest at the track. Again, don't be bias because you have the SLP lid, and get your facts straight.
Bottom line a lid is a lid.

As for power, they are all within a reasonable margin that I would not worry about it.
A lid is a lid is a lid is a lid. They will all make the same power/times and come on and off as many times as you want. The fit will only be an issue.
