Default Looking for Billet Main Caps

OK, I think I have decided to go ahead with the billet main caps.

Where can I get them? I know ThunderRacing makes some, but I have also heard of Katech making them too. Who sells the Katech main caps?

Is there anyone else that makes main caps for the LS1?

I am just trying to find out how many options I have.

HTC = hank the crank. That's the only other vendor off hand and I don't know if he's just a vendor of the aforementioned pieces or if they are his.

I got mine from Thunder. I searched around, and really, they are all the same. Go with the best price.
