TimC3 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 2004 bought in Feb when I returned from Iraq tinted windows 12 inch subs pcmforless flowmasters 50 series exiting in front of rear tire ARE LSII lid drop in filter 2005 CAI (waiting to hear which really makes power) grill inserts goodmark hood shopman bowtie shift kit/servos supercharger or turbo if I have time and money before returning to Iraq <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry to ask such a newb question, but I see a lot on Camaro/Corvette/etc boards where they have a Z06 lid, or an ARE lid, or some other kind of lid.. What the heck is a lid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big O Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 A lid just refers to the bed cover ... whether it be a tonneau or a cap. ARE is a brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARE is a brand <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Right, I understood that ARE is a brand, but I thought a lid in this case had something to do with the engine somehow (intake/exhaust/??), hence him saying is was an LSII or LS2 (which is an engine designation).. and also all of the camaro/corvette guys talking about it.. obviously they don't have a bed to cover..

When Camaro guys refer to lids, they are talking about hoods and air intake modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtodd82 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I just want the STS for 2005. Maybe a shift kit and other tranny upgrades. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i hear ya, i want the sts very much, but i keep reading threads that complain of its unpractical use, and difficulty to tune. i want it , but iam divided on uncertainty of turbo on the sss. so i think ill just try the wynjammer unless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_a_n_payne Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I think its between the Radix and STS. The WYNjammer shouldnt be in the same category of them. Pricewise, I guess but I would say not to go with the WYN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pricewise, I guess but I would say not to go with the WYN <{POST_SNAPBACK}> why do you say that? people seem sceptical of the wynjammer. ive read through some ford forums, and alot of those guys are using them and having great results. not much info on a chevy based engine though.

d_a_n_payne Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Really? What kind of increases are they seeing? The guy on here that tryd it on his SS has not been heard from since, thats why I thought it was worthless. He sent me some pictures that are on my second page of cardomain.
