Unhappy Which Lid

As I've been looking through the Forums time after time i keep reading "a lid is a lid is a lid is a lid." Yet I remember on a certain car magazine that i can not recall the name of or find at this moment got all current after market air lids and dyno'd them and then raced them on the track to see what gave the most performance and etc., essentially telling which lid is better. Since i can't find it, could someone please enlighten me. Also do these pulse plugs work?

i saw the article your talkin about...the lid shootout. go to MTIs webpage and its there. since they won the shootout they posted it. they were all within 1-2 hp from one another anyway. so thats why you hear....A LID IS A LID IS A LID.

i bought an MTI lid ...not because of the article. but because i got it cheap used. and i like the way it looks the best.

yea i believe I've mentally picked the MTI one. I have a hard time reading the small print it shows up on mine. My friend warned me to make sure it fit snuggly and didn't rub against the hood. How does yours do smallblockhero?
