Beat the Canton valve covers up to make them fit, they look great once on the motor. Here's how I did mine.

I want a set but i just can't justify spending $200 on them. I could get the ebay ones for cheaper but then I'd have to move the alternator. They look good though!

Fairly rediclious IMO that the cantons are made for the F-bodies and you have to beat them to fit. What are they $300 a set. They may look good but that just turned me away from them.

How about some pics of black wrinkle finish covers?

Uhhhhh....I hate to change the subject, but with your intake, can you give up some details? Flow, how much better than ported stock, how much better than a single plane. Cost. Manufacturer. Charecteristics.

Um... I fail to see any advantages to the high rise intake manifold on a PFI vehicle. The fuel is being injected right above the valve, the high rise manifold was set up for carbs that inject fuel at the top of the intake. The high rise allows the AIR and FUEL to mix/atomize better on vehicles with CARBS.

Maybe I am missing something but it seems that manifold is more cosmetic than anything. Unless he is planing on running a HUGE wet Nitrous kit!

Theres people making just as much power with the stock ported intakes. We basically put it on there to see what happens. It makes good power. The car went 10.90s N/A on pump gas with that intake and has more in it. I kept exploding optis, so an LTCC is goin in. Its just a holley stealth ram converted to run on the lt1.

I like them but I'm just not willing to loose both my AC and PS pump just because you have to relocate you ALT.
