PICS. Coil Relocation C6
What do you guys think, going to machine the mounts off the valve covers and powder coat them wrinkle red. I have about $100 in the project. Also still have to do a little more wire clean up and redo the brake booster hose.

Longer wires also suggest a departure from optimum. I will call this a beauty mod but a performance detraction. Its in the same camp as running covers on parts of the engine that will retain heat such as a alternator cover. Those rocker arm covers would sure look good in a nice anodized orange powdercoat.

Just for looks, so you can clean up the bay a little. It will look better when the valve covers are done. I don't see any real gain in performance from keep the coils coll. Katech won't sell the kit on the C6RS.
This is what I am going for.

With your coil kit you can just make out those badass $500 Katech valve covers. Thats why I went and made this off the cover setup. I am not one of your typical Corvette guys that like to buy everything. I post the finished pics. when I am done.

Auto Zone, I had to use mod the coil termals a little, but they work. The valve covers are just about ready for powder coating.
