I have a set of Nasty Performance Sheetmetal Valvecovers, they use stock o-ring gaskets, they fit really nice, I am not using a PCV system, I am running a moroso vacuum pump plumbed into my valvecover.

There are some new ones coming out very shortly, cast aluminum, not sheet metal, powder coated, 1.5" taller than stock, use the stock gaskets and will be available through a major mail order performance parts distributor. Much less expensive.
