What sort of valvecovers are you running? If stock valvecovers, what did you have to do to modify them? If aftermarket, how much taller is really needed?

Ditto.

Or you could use a set of spacers. The only problems I ran into was the coil packs didn't fit (they hit the heater box), and the plugwires were too short. I've got a set of these for sale. Unused ofcourse.

**** the spacers, just take a dremel and take some off the ceiling of your valve covers. i know plenty of people who have done that with no problem at all.

spacers were to much of a pain in the ***. that's why I didn't use them. just chop out under the valve covers. I did this. no problems here
