i take it you mean lid? the cheapest one that you think looks the best. they're all the same. IMO, i like the styling of the SLP lid, but it works equally as good as any other.

I gained 40whp in my MS3 cammed car just by bolting on a FAST 90mm manifold/NW 90 TB and an underdrive pulley.

The choice is clear my friend.

Nods I was told until you start doing some of the more extreme eengine changes.. big cams, heads etc.. then the 90/90 set-up really wont give you what you are looking for. Though if you plan on those future changes.. save yourself some money and do the 90/90 now.. instead of the pnp TB and ls6 intake.

Nor would it really benefit a stock motor all that much. All these people claiming 25-45hp increases are running big cams and worked heads.
