Default Coil relocation kit and Valve covers

What is the best coil relocation kit and a GOOD looking set of valve covers. I'm only aware of the Katech setup, which are dry sump valve covers.

check out "Gen3perf.com". They have several style valve covers. Don't know if they have the coil relocation kit.

Now your doing what I want to do. It looks so much better than stock. DRM had some on a motor he may be able to get them with what ever you want on them. There were some thread a month ago if the search works with some nice pictures.

I have the 2nd generation Katech covers and relo brackets - they aren't dry sump.
The 2nd gen are what they currently display on their website.
They were very easy to install and came with excellent instructions.

Send me an email and I'll send a few pics.

Hope this helps some.

I can't stand the look (or lack there of) of new engines. The new Cadillac STS Northstar is totally covered with plastic. I was kind of hoping the new LS7 wouldn't have the plactic covers and maybe the coils relocated with a nice LS7 on the vavle covers.
