Default SS hood, needs special airlid?

My SS still has the stock airlid in place. I was curious if I needed to purchase a SS specific airlid, or if it didn't matter.

Did a search, but didn't come up with much.

no, the z28 and SS air box lids, both upper and lower are the same.

if my memory serves me correct (and i hope it does) only the lt1 SS's had a different style airbox from the z28. thats because the lt1 had a more realistic ram air than our interestingly routed 98+ hoods.

jrp is right about them coming with the same lid
(base - you could get the Blackwing lid as a $349
option as part of the 345HP SS package though).

The SS hood does leave less clearance from the
lid and some people find rubbing problems with
some aftermarket lids.

Rubbing issues with raised lower airbox/blackwing setup or across the board, no matter which is used?
