Nasty's aren't cast!They are billets cut from premium 6061T6.They are a high quality machine finish and have a brushed finish top.You can have custom engraving for a minimal surcharge.He also has two styles of coil brackets available which are also cut from billet.All for less than the competitors cast version.He also offers C5 type covers.

Well,I dont know about you but at 280.00 for the cast rough finish stuff versus a quality cnc machined finish at 320.00; i would go for the billets for 40.00 difference!

You may say it's expensive, but the quality is second-to-none and our kits include everything you need. They look very aggressive bare cast or powdercoated. Some people like performance, some like appearance, some like both. As far as I know, we are the only company that provides personalized valve covers made to order. Here's a little guide and some pictures.


Katech cast aluminum raised valve cover kit
Includes all hardware, insulated allen-head center bolts, and premium gaskets
KAT-A2833 flat $449.00

KAT-A3842 slotted for engraved insert $464.00

Design owned by RevXtreme

Engraved insert
Pre-cut engraved inserts, painted lettering and clear-coated
KAT-3231C-R02 "Katech Engine Building" $125.00 each
KAT-3231Q "Katech 6.7L" $125.00 each
SPECIAL PRICE TO ALL FORUM USERS: 2 inserts for the price of 1

Design owned by FASTECH

Design owned by Flowmaster



Or, if you want a truely unique look, let us design a custom ingraved insert for you. It is a bit more costly due to the fact that we have to draw your design in CAD then CNC machine the insert for you, but if you want a personalized look this is for you. The design becomes proprietary information owned by Katech and you. We will not sell your design to anybody else.
KAT-3231 Blank insert $8.27 each
Custom CNC engraving with painted letters $396.00

We can also powdercoat your valve covers to any color of your choice. You can even go to Home Depot, pick a color swatch from the paint department and mail it to me. We will match your color to enhance your custom look.
Powdercoating $100.00

Katech coil relocation bracket kit
Includes all hardware, premium Delphi wire set in your choice of 3 colors, black anodized finish
KAT-A2682-BLK with black wires $320.00
KAT-A2682-BLU with blue wires $335.00
KAT-A2682-RED with red wires $335.00
