The May issue of GM High Tech did an indepth comparrison of many of the lids on the market. I suggest you grab a copy before the June ones hit the shelves. If you can't find one I think I remeber it say that most lids are created equal. It did rate the SLP with the best Fit/Finish & something else. I think it also was 1st or second on the dyno with a difference between the highest and lowest lid being around 1 HP.
Personally I replaced my Stock SLP Donladson lid with the aftermarket SLP lid because I liked the look.

I used to have the Whisper and K&N until I got tired of the crappy fit of the filter. Damn Whisper warped. I ended up getting the Clear TSP lid mainly so I could check the seal easier and see if any moisture or debree was entering the intake. It looks nice too. The Holley power shot is a perfect fit, also.

They all perform so close to the same it's not worth talking about. Find one you like best based on appearence, price or percieved quality.
