You guys do some absolutely amazing work and the quality looks awesome (the Vengeance set almost gave me wood ).

However, not many at all can afford up to $720 for valve covers. I can, and still cannot bring myself to do it. I guess if I was strictly car show, I could since buying performance parts would take a back seat to cosmetic.

No problem! Just trade me $595 for a set and I'll get 'em right out ; )


But seriously, if our Enclosed Coil covers are too rich for your blood you should have a look at these:



We will be releasing these more 'traditional' valve covers for the LSx in the coming weeks. Pricing will be below $300.

I don't know if you commented on this before, but is there a concern of too much heat in the cavity where the coils are? Does this even matter? I would just be concerned that the coils would "cook" in there.

Other than that, those valve covers look great!!

even if it was a concern on long tips or take the tops off and when you get to the show or track where your hood will be ope throw them top half back on. A plus from that is they will look good long with less polishing. That what i would do if i got them

I like the second ones better. IMO..

THe first ones are teh heat, but too darn tall. I'd have to see them in person. I don't mind coil packs, so it's just me.

No concers at all. Check this thread for the detailed answer.

do they use stock gaskets?
Sure do. We include a set with our install kits.

Yep. Here's a customer with a set of Harland Sharpes.

I'm in the shop today so you can call with any questions as well.

No GP in the near future. The current sale is probably the hottest deal we'll have all year, $300 off regular ($895) list price.

If not I might have to wait a couple more weeks
Perfect, I need a vacation
