Default New Valve Covers?

Hope that this is the right section, but unfortunatle "oil does touch it"!
Want to replace my stock LS1 valve covers with something taller and has breather/oil seperator access holes. Who sells this? How much?

Thanks,
Chuck

Jay Fisher Pontiac sells billet aluminum valve covers at around $495 a set.

You can get C5-R cast aluminum valve covers from varous sponsors for around the same price. They are lighter but have no o-ring provisions and you must drill them for bungs.

ARE also has a set fabricated from sheet aluminum. I'm not sure on pricing...

ARE sells some really nice fabricated aluminum valvecovers. They don't come with any holes drilled in them, so you can put breather holes wherever you like.

They also use a stock gasket, which is really nice.

I can post some pictures of mine later if anyone wants to see them.

Thanks for the info! I'll try to get in touch with Nick and see if I can buy a set.
