Ryan, just out of curiosity, What do you estimate the temperature to be inside the cover after say 30 minutes or so of sustained driving?

Btw, I love mine. Pictures do not do them justice.

Sweet valve covers also.
Thank you.

And just so you guys don't think I'm pullin' your chain, we'll post pics of the award GM gave us as soon as the photographer is done.

Not sure, but less than 250 I'll bet.

When we were testing the prototype covers on our Escalade test mule, the owner would try and heat the engine/covers up as much as possible then pop the hood and check the valve cover temperature with a laser temp gun. The highest he ever read was 220 I believe.

We used that same Escalade still equipped with the same prototype covers to tow our SEMA vehicle back and forth this year. Still no problems 2+ years from the initial installation.

There we go! A real classic look, for those who want something different....a complete hollowed out flathead Ford V-8 that sits right on top of your stroked LS7 engine. No one will ever know.
