Agreed! Mike from TooHighPSI is a sharp dude and not afraid to chime in on this board with knowledge beyond most of us mere mortals haha

And to be clear, I love Katech! I’ve been running their VVT front cover, AFM valley cover, 112mm TB, custom TB adapter for the new Whipple, etc and their stuff is first class. Great support too.

I went with the Motion Raceworks valve covers and catch can setup when I did my cam swap.
Like the look with the black Whipple.
dont have any great shots of them, here is engine out and during whipple install while routing wires and cleaning up the mess.

Only issue, had to make a little bracket for the dipstick to bolt to, not an exact fit for the stock bracket.

My baffled WeaponX vlv covers. They can do any engraving or color you may desire.

I've always loved the look of the Weapon-X valve covers! Nice add!

I too ran with Katech covers but slightly different setup.

Better pic of the covers.

I don't get it. Why dress up the underhood when you're the only person who sees it?

CalgaryZL1 · 11-05-2023, 08:59 PM

I do it because I have six months of winter storage to install and admire what’s under my hood

Why put all those performance parts on the car when you are the only one who can feel it.

If your going to build out your motor, install new internal components, increase your performance to it, it only makes sense that those parts come in a variety of nicer looking styles/colors. Most folks don't just swap out value covers, its usually part of a build and the original covers were ugly as hell, so replace them.

2. Re-Plumb PCV Hoses as the connector locations change.
3. Install a MM Wild CC (also a no brainer) IMO
4. Using a restriction fitting on the clean side of the CC as the Katech cover have no baffling.

In short, this is not an easy transformation for some... but for me, it was 100% worth it!
