fperra,

I like the covers the way did them, my only though was maybe LS7 instead of the Z06. I did some early testing with my car for ABEAR and had no problems with temp. I had the same question, they said they did very extensive testing.

It is a two piece design. The cover you see is actually an outer coilcover that bolts to the actual valve cover underneath. The look neat but there has been some debate on here about engine heat under the cover having an adverse affect on the coils.

Looks real nice Fred. I'll give you a call in a sec about the fuel rails.

As for coil heat...With well over 100 sets sold to folks in AZ, TX and FL I have yet to hear of a single coil failure from an owner of our rocker covers. And I'm sure I'd hear about it lol

Here is a link to one of the tests we did back in the day.
