I posted this a few months ago when it was obvious TSP wasn't gonna come up with their new lid. I got the Fast Toys and Lingenfelter 100mm MAF. That with the Fast intake and MW TB and Norris MS tuning I did 524rwhp.
Guys, we haven't given up on the lid yet. But we are so busy with the new heads we haven't had time to fix the fitment issues on the prototype lids. I don't have an ETA at the moment but as soon as we have one I will pass that info. along.

Thanks! 
I dont know why you guys at texas speed dont develope an idea were the is consumers instaed of investing in cylinder heads that are almost 2 grand a piece were few people can afford them and other companies like trick flow flow better and come as a pair for cheaper. you are taking away from your market for not developing something no body else has. every company can port and polish there heads but there is no company on the market with a 100mm lid... makes since to me to do that maybe I am not the rich business man but somebdy needs to wake his *** up and make him some money, you have over a 150 customers here wanting the set up... um there is your research and evelopment right there... make the choice to make money and help all of us and then go port your heads!!!!

The 100mm MAF is not a "slap-on" mod. It requires extensive dyno tuning to get it working well. If we're going to talk about what more people purchase/need, more people will certainly purchase cylinder heads. Trick Flows are not cheaper, and we're not going to discuss which is better. That's an entirely different thread. It comes down to if it can be produced for a reasonable price. We have not built lids in a few years, and wanting to build a lid that will sell the least out of 75mm, 85mm, and 100mm setups is going to be hard because manufacturers are all about quantities. It's not a smart business decision to build a mold for a lid that will not be a big seller on a car that is no longer built considering we'll have to build 1,000+ lids to get the average price down to a reasonable level. We could build a handful of 100mm lids, but I don't think anyone will want to pay $300+ for one. It isn't quite as easy as stopping cylinder head R&D/production and throwing together a lid.Jon
