Default lid ?

I am about to buy my first t/a, a 1998 ls1 and it its a regular t/a but the guy put the ram air hood on it. What would be the best whole lid setup to get for it to optimize performance and utilize the ram air hood? This may be a dumb ? but I see all kinds of setups and am not sure exactly would to get and what would be the best.

You need to get a ram air box. It's the lower piece not that lid that is different. The ram air one is taller with a larger opening at the bottom. Slp lid wil help no matter what box you got.

It depends on the hood you get. Some ram air hoods also have an optional air lid that mates to it.
