Very strong . I can already tell the difference in power / torque . Can't wait to get some more miles on so I can get on it a little more .

Very nice

What valve covers are those and did you have to modify them to fit over the rockers ?

The valve covers are from Pro Form , I had to cut out the ribs and the boss that goes with the center bolts down to the head inside . Not too bad . On the Desktop Dyno program , it came out 360 hp. / 420 ft.lbs . Not a bad increase !
