Default ATS carbon-fiber valve covers

One of our site sponsors unveiled a new product at SEMA last week. Carbon-Fiber (real) valvecovers! They looked kick *** and top-quality in person. They also use the factory O-ring gasket. These are also going to be available with or without the coil relocation brackets. Availability should be in a couple weeks or less.

The best part? Pricing may be under $500/pair with the relocation brackets!

Their website is www.T56kit.com

The covers are tall enough to clear any aftermarket valvetrain, so there is a function to follow the form.
The covers will include 2 carbon valve covers, an oil fill cap, and either 1 vacuum port and a PCV valve or no provisions at all. Also included are the stainless steel coil pack relocation brackets, all hadware for the covers and coil packs, and a set of new GM gaskets. We will have an option for deletion of the coil brackets, but as they don't cost too much, there will not be a very big price reduction, probably under $50.

We just tested them with a Y body accessory system, and they WILL clear the alternator, so these should fit all applications of LSX engine and platforms.
I'm including a few more pics of the covers. Let me know if you guys want to get a set at the introductory price of $500. They will never be this cheap again, so this is the time to go for it. We will be ending our pricing discount after the 50th set is sold. Any order recieved after these first 50 will be at the regular retail pricing.

Well, it is a just a display engine so no need to put on high dollar heads when I'm trying to sell valve covers, engine mounts, oil pans, headers, and our new Sidewinder accessory drive.
The injection is made by www.kinsler.com and the stacks are either Aluminum or Magnesium, not plastic. The setup we had there was just shy of $4600. The engine is the cheapest item on the entire display.

yeah im familiar with kinsler and i know they are really expensive. just thought that maybe somebody finally made a velocity stack injecton that is in a reasonable price range, but i stand corrected.

We have changed the ending terms of the sale to be by quanity, rather than date. We feel that this way it will allow more people to get in on it, rather than have a pressure of a set ending date. If you want I can post how many sets remain before the price increase.
