Is it an 02 SS? The blackwing lid included in the optional 345HP package consisted of basically a high flow filter and very good quality lid.

that's what the lid i have looks like, and the ones everyone else has or talks about looks like that also. help any? and the blackwing might flow as well, but i'm not sure so before you take it off and toss it for one of those i'd check it out.

The Blackwing lid was part of the SLP 345 package. It flows well and should not be replaced with an aftermarket lid.

and it's the only better flowing LID that's smog legal in california for our cars. don't mess with the lid, leave it on there cause if you replace it thinking you'll get more hp with another lid you'll be just plain retarded . . . but i'd replace the filter if i were you.

true true BUT i actually gained acouple horsepower and since i don't have the money for a cam to be put in or LT's to be installed the smooth bellows was a good way to go. and yes i actually did notcie a gain when i added the SLP lid w/the high flow filter and the smooth bellows
