Carbon Fiber Valve Covers I am considering going to CF valve covers on my 01 WS6. I have standard intake. The CF units do not have the vents on the passenger side cover 2 of them. How do I need to route or install to be able to use these covers. It may be a very simple process and answer please help me out.

I had them on my LT4 and loved them, so I was planning to run them on my current car. I haven't heard a single good thing about them on LS motors though, and one tuner told me they were garbage. They look great, but I'm not willing to chance it on my motor. Just something to consider. If you do it and they don't leak please let us know. Here's a pic of them on my 94.

Your covers look like center bolt as well. I do not see an issue for an LS1 center bolt? (I hope) They
use the OEM gaskets as well. I most likely will give them a shot they do look cool. My car does not get run that hard and I am only around 400hp.

[QUOTE=03Sssnake;10938669]If those CF valve covers do not have PCV provisions, you will have to run an LS6 valley PCV setup like this.
OK, I need to do this mod anyway from what I have read. I can get the package from Thunder. 1 (one) hose left. What about the vent hose off the throttle body that goes to the front of the passenger side valve cover?
