The valve covers have never been off yet. Maybe they need to come off. ;)
You've hit the 12s man. I don't know how much more you can suck outta the L98 without some more in depth mods. :) If anything pull the covers and just do a pressure test on the springs, see if they are still at acceptable levels. Could always replace them with stock ones if you feel like doing it twice. :D
Vic, heres a couple of dyno graphs. I use the same shop and same operator each time. Results are normalized. First one is an exhaust mod when I went from having flowmasters and no main cat to true 2.5"duals and got rid of the precats and installed the air pump elim kit.

As son as I can find the other one of my before and after intake dyno I'll post it. Dang, I got a new computer and didnt save the graph. I have it here in my hand. I can give you some numbers though. I made the following changes in between the next round of mods. I used the run in the pic above as my baseline for the next one (the one in my hand) since I hadnt changed anything else. I put on the accell base and a set of SLP shorty headers purchased from Mackey here on the forum. Remember, I allready had a pretty good exhaust and the shorty headers are the same exact pattern as the stock manifolds so I dont think I gained much from the headers. Compare these numbers to the one in the above pic.

If you plot these you'll see that mine helped alot between 4000-4700rpm. Hope this helps some.
I installed TPIS Base/runners/ported plenum/52mm throttle body. My didn't seem to gain anything either, but I know have other issues (my car runs really rich). I did seem to get better ET's by shifting 200-300 rpm higher (.1).... or maybe that is because my wallet is $1300 lighter :mad

Thanks for the info. That is the kind of feedback I am looking for.
