That shets gonna look so good you won't want to drive it! I'm glad I found your thread since I have been on the fence about painting my valve covers, they look far better than I imagined, I'll be doing that this weekend 
One question?
You have a 104 lid and a 100maf but you're only running a 226/230 cam? Why not Pat's 234/242 or 238/242? Just curious, nothing more.

When he spec'd out my cam I already had the afr heads milled to 62cc and the .40 cometic gaskets. It's as big as I can go before risking piston to valve clearance issues.

Water tends to get down in there where the knock sensors are. One was completely rusted. So I decided to go ahead and replace both since everything is torn down. I paid like $40 each for the sensors. The ls6 cover gets rid of the the external pcv system on the ls1. Suppose to help with oil consumption as well.

Ah, mine look great except for one. The little white part that holds the connector was somewhat brittle and cracked at the top out rim, but it didn't affect the way the connector connects to the sensor so I reused them.
As for the LS6 valley cover, guess that doesn't matter for me because I plan on running a breather filter in the valve cover.
Very nice build, look forward to seeing what it does.

What made you choose the AFR 205 over milled and ported 243s or TFS 205s or another head? I'm going to be looking at a good set of heads in the next 6 months and 243s are a lot cheaper than others for some good performance.

Great choice...Ive never looked back ever since I had the first 205s installed back in 2004.....just power everywhere..crisp throttle response and all I have is a baby cam 224/228@114. Can only imagine the power you will put down with the custom Pat cam!

Your build is very close to mine. Figured I'm give you my setup so you can see the results. Yours I would think should be pretty much the same...more since your a m6. I dynoed 461 rwhp 404 rwtq on a dynojet with a 3200 stall and 3.73 gears.
