Default **pics** kickass custom valvecovers









I got these from a freind who had them made in cali. Ill get the name on ther guy and see if he will post up here. They are about $500 for the set with all bung and oil cap and baffles. If he got a big order the price may come down.

I've always liked the fabricated aluminum look. Kinda steep on the price, though. Looks good either way.

I'm guessing a form of EGT for the wide band... I could be wrong though.

the sensors in the headers are the 8 egt datalogger from Alltonics. It can shut the juice down at the temps set in the computer. I willbe using the FJO wideband o2 in conjunction with the NX maximizer as well. It can shut the juice down at a set AF ratio as well.

But back to the valve covers. Looks like the guy is gonna make one more set and thats it. I just figured Id share though.

Do these pics not work for anyone else? Because they ain't workin' for me. Could someone email them to me by chance? I was looking for some new and unique valve covers.

I did have a set of Gen III covers. They worked very well. But I Liked the look of these better. And they are lighter by a few lbs as well.

I will be selling the Gen III covers with the lines that could be used for vacum pump or PCV or catch can soon for a very good price.
