Billet valve covers/coil covers you probably haven't see before.... They are made by Noonan Race Engineering (Australia)
My buddy Rick met them at Sema a while back, nice product-couple of us ordered sets for our cars. They clear Jesel rockers and the front of the covers have plenty of material to tap for vent lines/fittings. The valve/coil covers are CNC cut.
These covers are on top of my new motor (heads are ETP LS7 style)

I do like that they look pretty nice. Nasty performance ones I have are decent, but that's a better look, and if they don't leak like mine do, they're even better.
I do like your 2nd throttle spring, that's pretty sweet... I take it you like the pedal really stiff.

Your nasty covers leak? WTF? I'm having mine tapped like the OP and I'll get pics posted. I have some custom APS (Nasty Nates) covers, that" knock on wood" haven't leaked...
For the money, they shouldn't leak at all...

Ya WTF I have never seen a set leak....Which style covers? Where do they leak? New GM gaskets? I need to know these things if I need to fix anything.

The gaskets were new, tried a couple sets actually. The ones I have I bought off another member on here... so I never made a stink about it, because for all I know he could have stood on them or something. They seem to leak at the ends, and the way they sit on my ET heads, you can slide them back and forth a little bit, just enough so that you have to do a balancing game to get the seals to not be too close to the edge on the front and the back.
the ones I have are the design that puts the coil pack up over the cover so it's level, a little higher then the intake is. I like that because it keeps them out of the way for changing plugs and whatnot, but the leak part is a pita, but I deal with that.

Thanks guys. JL the throttle spring I needed with my old FAST 90, not sure if I really need it (probably not) now but I stretched the spring a bit so there is little tension on it, figured it's good insurance if the blade gets stuck open.
The hoses are Russell, the fittings are Summit brand.
Price for the valve/coil covers was under $700, that includes shipping from Australia.

Yeah those are expensive. The coil covers, do they do anything or just bling? I'd think the alum around them is either going to hold heat in, or help pull it out.. not sure which though.
Nice looking setup. I'm probably gonna end up ditching the ones I have when I get the car back together, gonna have to put a distributor on to keep the fire lit
And with that being said.. mine as well put something on that doesn't have some out of place looking standoff's welded on it, maybe put the little plug wire holders on instead.

They act as the bracket i guess, the bolts go thru the covers and coils. Can't see them holding any heat in.
You can also get the valve covers without the coil covers and bungs.

they are very nice. We had some sets out on display at PRI and they were show stoppers
