Guys keep in mind that our air-boxes sit higher than those on Z.28s, Formulas and regular T/As. So,..we're gonna probably rub a bit. Every lid but the stocker should have this as an issue but its not really an issue cuz it ain't gonna hurt you.

Hope that helps answere your Question.

I have the SLP Blackwing on my SS and it doesn't rob. Very nice plastic injected piece too. More expensive than the regular SLP but it worth it. It looks like stock with AC GM sticker on it.

A friend of mine has the regular SLP lid on his WS6 and it rob.

My SLP lid did not rub until I did my cam. Now it rubs bad. I checked to see if the radiator was in different, but it was not. Oh well.

My slp has rubbed from the day I got it. I realized it didn't hurt anything so it doesn't really bother me too much, I just deal with it.

My lid rubbed only after I put a smooth bellow in. I think that it pushes it up a lil' too much. Causing the contact with the hood. Pissed me off.
