I'm interested! $175 seems a bit high tho. $100 even would be right on the dot if they want to see these things fly out of the warehouse! I want a set!

yeah but if you sell more at a lesser price, they will make more money. At a 100 I would get em in a heart beat but at 175 I dont know if I like em that much

$175 I wouldn't even consider them...that's way too much for a couple pieces of Tupperware. Be different if they were metal or textured or something.

$100 is a lot closer to a good price.

Would you rather sell 3 sets for $175, or 30 for $100?!? I know, that could be unrealistic numbers but, ..., you get my drift, ...

$100, & I'd get a couple sets to modfiy or the F-body & use for my projects for people.

Its not always just as easy as charging less for something, theres a lot of things to consider. Somehow I have the feeling that if they were asking $100 for them the argument would be the same, only wanting the price to be $75....

Anyone know if there are going to be made in two different version? It looks to me that the covers pictured are for LS2,LS3,LS7. The LS1 would have to have different mounting points for the studs that hold the cover on. The Gen III coil packs and coil pack brackers sit much lower on the valve cover its self on a LS1 compared to a Gen IV. Notice the notches for the coil pack plugs on each coil? A LS1 coil pack would not need those notches.......

Only the one version is being made. I've seen them on several ls2 and ls3 engines. They were originally designed for the ls3. I'll get some pictures next week with a ls1 coil and intake setup.

take a better look at the covers.... they will clear an f-body STB. The covers are barely higher than the coil packs on the valve cover. Any STB will be fine.
