Just FYI for ya'll; if your cast aluminum lid is have sealing issues because of it being warped in places, the latest issue of GM High Tech Performance states that Accel will do a trade in of the cast aluminum lid for their billet aluminum lid to remedy the problem. Just a little heads up for ya'll.......

The billit lid? Isn't that the nice, shiny one that costs an extra 100 bux? And they're trading them straight up? Do you suppose they'd notice if I had a cast lid that wasn't warped, or maybe there's a way I could sabotage it. hmmm...

Yep, that's the one. Just B itch about it not sealing properly (it sounds like, from what I've heard, it will in the future anyways ) and they will likely take care of you.

Does this mean you don't have a subscription to GMHTP ????? How do you survive?????? lol.... (I guess I gotta help advertise since an Acquaintance of mine, Chris Endres, is one of their editors. ...).
