I sell a couple of different covers. check my site. http://www.gen3perf.com/files/access...tm#valvecovers
They are currently priced at around $450, but will drop to about $300 as soon as I finalize a contract with a different source. If you are interested, send email to scott@gen3perf.com and use "gen3 valve covers" in the subject line please. this will help me sort the emails easier.

They seal just fine. They have a factory style gasket in them. You need to put breathers in them or run a vacuum pump on it. I also eliminated the factory PCV from the LS1 and went with the LS6 style instead. Hindsight 20/20 I would have just run a vacuum pump. No more oil through the intake that way.
The most I can tell you about the price is to try and call ARE. They are no longer a sponsor here, which is unfortunate. I believe East Side Performance and LG also offer valve cover options for you to look at.

Oh well i guess i will have to try again tomorrow. Well i got ahold of ARE today and the price on these things is $325. They are made of of sheetmetal, and from what i understood from Wade they are sort of a universal cover with just the bolt holes in them then whatever kind of pcv system or anything else you want to run you have to put the bungs/grommets in. Does anyone have a link to what the LS6 pcv system is or can they explain it?
Yeah i got on ls1howto and i think i have the basic jist of what they are doing, i am thinking of using these valve covers with my metco breather and switching over to the LS6 style pcv.
