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.

PS- Intake is made by Kinsler.

Hard to tell by the pics but it looks like you can get the covers off with the coils attached, thats kinda cool.

Going to be any provisions to use just a couple breathers?

Stock length wires long enough?

I like them

KP, you are correct. The covers can be removed with the packs still attached to them. Neat feature.

Tyler, glad to hear they fit a Y-body I knew they would, because I've seen similar shaped ones (alum) fit on the Corvettes too.

Stock is 1.219" and our carbon cover is 1.878".

We can add any fitting to these from vacuum to PVC.
