is a lid worth the money? i got an 02 T/A M6, Pacesetter LT's, TSP ORY, and TSP Torquer V.3......dont have a lid on the car currently i heard that on stock cars that a lid can add 10RWHP but i heard on a cammed F-body it can add even more and that it would be a very noticable difference.....is the power gain worth the money

Good lord you did Cam/Exhaust but forgot to do the lid first? Your dyno guy should be shot for not recommending one...He should have upsold you the damn thing by showing you the dyno before/after comparison. I'm just chuckling to myself still trying to understand how the hell you missed this as a starter mod? LOL! Sorry!

Just put lid on my stocker. I would have run the best ET I have ever run if I wouldn't have let off (elimination round). I also had my best 60' w/ the lid. But in all honestly, I doubt it had much to do w/ the lid. I think it had more to do w/ a stickier than ever track.
