I love how people are such smart asses
I just did a search here yesterday for valve covers to see what people were using because all the ones I've seen on sponsors' sites are $300+. I didn't find any good threads on valve covers and it's pretty hard to search every single after market company to find out who offers what. And without hearing from guys that have used them you have no idea how good they are. Granted the OP didn't say what he wants to spend so if he's thinking $50 then obviously that's not going to happen, but there's nothing at all wrong with him asking if there are decent ones out there that don't cost a fortune.
I don't think it should be unreasonable to have a good sealing valve cover out there with out coil bracket bolt holes for less that $200, but I haven't found a pair yet.

This is what I have on the Camaro. They are like a stock cover but with plenty of room. You will not have oil leak problems with these covers.

Thanks Sam, I'm trying to save money to pay you for my tune but I guess if I buy cheap leaky valve covers and leak oil everywhere at your shop. You will probably charge me a cleanup fee, since I've been warn to get some really good ones.

I shaved, filled the dimples and trenches with jb weld. About 30$ in material and hi temp paint. Just stock covers. Sanded em smooth and used hi temp radiant silver paint. And like another 40$ for gaskets. I modded stock bolt/boot seal to use stainless allen bolts and washers.

You won't find a better set. http://www.nastyperformance.com/shop...-valve-covers/
You would be surprised how many customers buy cheaper cover to only buy ours after. Do it right the first time.
