We have some in stock and ready to ship. They are pricey but I've seen a set on a motor and it is by far the best looking aftermarket valve cover set up I've seen.

Ditto on what Matt said. We used these on a 375ci solid roller a few weeks back and they are the best option for someone looking for new valvecovers/coil relocation. Pricey.. yes, but they do work extremely well.

Why didn't GM do that from the factory?
The LS1 wouldn't have been called an ugly engine if they had.
Do they sell the relocation kit seperate from the valve covers?

Just checked you can get the covers for $560. The relocation kit and wires are $320. Its just 2 brackets and bolts though, nothing complicated. Whats up with the C5-R covers i have seen those for around the same price and they look wicked, anyone check into those?

I wish people would stop buying the overpriced BS that sometimes comes out for these motors. We would stop getting gouged for dumb things like valve covers then.

I am sick of the prices on some of our parts also
If I ever learn how to TIG weld, i would sell some nice fabbed covers for less than half the prices of whats out there now
blah

I am personally to the pont that I want to VOMIT every time a new part hit the market. the cost is ABSOLUTELY LUDACRIS! In My entire life of racing car I have never seen VALVE COVERS that carry such a hefty tag. I personnaly bought the JFP relocation kit for my coils and felt ripped off, but then again I dont have the time to sit and fab up my own relocation kit. I could tell that at the abolute most the JFP kit probably manufacturing cost was less than 50.00 minus the wires. Can anyone say 100%+ profit? This kit from Katech is killer, but the cost......give me a fookin break! that is just down right STUPID!
