I've heard a couple people talk about .2 gains, and I've heard other people say there was almost no gain. So I'd just like to see some dyno-proof.
A member by the name of "ksmyss" has a killer LS1 lid conversion, and super clean.. Damn near factory looking. Maybe he'll post up 
this is on my list of "winter mods" as well..I'll be using the Fast Toys 85mm lid,to mate up with 85mm MAF..Should flow nicely

^^That won't fit..
With it I picked up about .2 easily, and 2 mph. It just flows better.
Here is pics of mine, I used Stainless Steel to hold it down and to keep the Radiator forward. I cut into the Core Support also.
A little before and after for you guys so you can see how it is setup..

I've got some screws going through that are holding the filter and lid together, in the back.. I didn't need to put any in the front. It was already pretty firmly held on there, with a good seal whenever I tested it.

There's really nothing supporting the radiator, but in the position it's in, it's not really moving. I've got it pushed back as far as I can get it, and it's not hitting anything. There's also not really anything as a lower air box. I just notched out in the front, to make a little tray in the front for the filter, and some screws are going through the lid, in the back, holding the filter and the lid together, which is holding the filter up in the back.

As for going to Hangover Fest. I think I'm leaving home around 9. I'm meeting up with some local guys over in Galesburg, and then we're heading straight there. We'll probably get there right around the time the gates open (10:30). I'm hoping to get some runs in before too many people get there, and then watching for a while, then start running again after a little spectating.
Launching!

Hey spence, I see you're from Monmouth. Was that car at the Fred Gibb cruise last August because I think i remember seeing a few polo green maros there? Oh and a buddy showed me the easiest way to install and adjust rockers...takes a solid hour maybe for the entire set, but I'll probably get burned at the stake for suggesting such sacriledge. And the adjustment is done with the engine running.
