I believe we have had several photo's of Katech's valve covers and coil relo kits mounted on a C-5 on this site. Did you want just the relo kit?

I called Katech.. They said some fit some dont. They recommended against it on a C5.

To add insult to injury, you can have their name on their valve covers OR pay a $365 "setup fee". You can not have Chevy or Corvette on them anymore..

Like we want to spend almost $600 for their valve covers and advertize for them...

SDPC has some new nice looking coil brackets that mount on the valve covers.

I used the Thunder Racing brackets on my Z28, but I don't think they will work on a C5.

I talked with Jason at Katech and yes they can't use Chevy, Corvette, a bowtie etc. due to a licensing problem. You can use just about anything else. I am going to get their blank valve cover plate and have another engraver do mine then epoxy it on the cover.

A buddy of mine makes A billet aluminum box that he sticks all the coils in to hide them. Then he will engrave whatever you want on the box. [IMG][/IMG]

The Katech relocation brackets did need to be modified for MSD coils, since they are bigger. I used a die grinder. I had Corvette stickers made-$12
