Default New Coil Relocation Kit - take a look

Totally adjustable - rotation, spacing, height and should work with any cover combination...

Tall Covers



Medium Height Covers - rotated coils



Medium Height Covers - straight coils

JMO...

But I think the point of relocation coil packs is to completely remove them from the area around the valve covers... With this you still have wires going over the valve covers and still looks kinda crowded... I like the "under the cowl look."

Still looks way better than stock

the point of coil relocators is when you change to other valve covers that dont have coil mounting points. there is actualy a performance reason, not a looks reason.

only reason why id ever think about moving the coils were if i had to get a diffrent set of valve covers to clear rockers

You must mean performance for the worse... Longer plug wires = more resistance = Less power...


If it is pure performance anyone can weld mounting bungs on their valve covers and have shorter wires. (Most aftermarket tall valve covers come with this option from the shop.) Not to mention it is probably far cheaper to do it this way.

You have an appearance mod... Which is cool.

I am relocating my coil packs to a place where they will look better

I think he means performance from a functionality standpoint....as in they perform their intended function.

Where can I get a set of those Corvette valve covers? They would really look great if they were engraved with CAMARO SS.

By the way, the relocation method looks like a winner.

Longer wires can easily be compensated by using more strands of wire, thicker wire, material used. I dont think it would do much to hurt performance adding 1 inch of wire to a set of plugs. these relocation kits seem to usually decrease the size.

Those are C5R valve covers. I think Katech can hook you up with a set
