Fernco?

I have an SLP lid and a ported throttle body on my 98 and was wondering if this works at all or is it just more of a PITA? Ive heard that they crack ur lid and make installing the lid a bitch so im guessin they suck. Any info?? Thanks guys!

Just wrap a few layers of black duct tape around your TB/Lid junction and you'll be good to go!

I haven't cracked my lid yet, but it does rub the crap out of the hood.

It must have been because you were weak.
