Default Two Questions (Lids/FIPK)

1) Where can I get an aftermarket lid ('02 Formula)? Cost?

2) Any thoughts about whether buying a K & N Fuel Injection Performance Kit is worth it?

THANKS!!

main page...look to the right...there are tons of sponsors where you can get a lid...

there is also a newbie guide for basic mods in a sticky, read thru that before someone chops your ***** off...

Both things you mentioned are very good...Get the one you like the best, since they're all pretty similar...Texas-Speed and Performance makes 85mm lids, most others are 75mm

get the lid, ebay theres a guy who sells SLP lids for about $80 thats where i got mine and Slp fits great tight propper fit. lids show good hp gains by themselves, i dont like the K&N FIPK becuase it just sucks hot hair from all around the engine area and its way to pricey. best is to get a lid,and either have ram-air set up or a cold-air-intake or the free ram-air mod works to. i also dont like K&N filters in these cars because the oil from the filter gets on the maf and makes it not read correctly, plus they dont show any gains maybe 1hp if ur lucky.
