4V Billet Valve covers

chris@GMS · November 11th, 2009, 06:45 PM

Hey what does everyone think of these billet 4V valve covers? they are 6lbs which is 3lbs lighter per valve cover. i would like some imput?

They look cool but what do you plan on using for coil covers? Accept a stock gasket? Any pictures of the drivers side? Expected price?

+1 on above.

Those are just a working product nothing has been released, but thanks for the imput i will pass that onto the engineers, as for pricing that is the only problem because it takes such a large piece of billet 107lb block to be exact, they are probably going to be around 900.00 a piece.

a piece or set? is that gonna include the gaskets and matching coil covers?
900 just seems way too much for me. but thats just me, just trying to give you a little criticism, not trying to bash on you or anything of that sort. good luck with it though

Wow that seems pretty pricey for replacing a already good looking set of valve covers. I honestly don't see the need in them being billet. I think a cast/machined product would be better suited. I think they would be awesome if you offered custom engraving as well.

again

chris@GMS · November 11th, 2009, 07:29 PM

on the finished product there will be a billet cover over the coils.

wraitherx · November 11th, 2009, 07:34 PM

sounds good. Im sure that you can get bites on it, especially for the people that have their cars as show and trailer queens.

Yeah i agree, with the ingraving or even a plaque like the stock valve covers machine a flat spot on the top front and put it there. it will be 900 a piece but thats not for sure i am trying to protest the price, because i agree i have a cobra and 1800 for valve covers is steep, but some people will buy them, because of the wow effect and no one has them, and they do look bad A#$. but thanks for the opinions and advice. the reason for the Billet is that its something different. casting a valve cover would be no different than factory. then people would say why buy that when i can powder coat this. and carbon fiber was rediculous, like 3000 buck. but again thanks guys and i will keep everyone updated.

wraitherx · November 12th, 2009, 12:26 PM

sounds good. keep us updated if the price drops down to a resonable one ill be in

AzSonicSnake · November 12th, 2009, 01:40 PM

amazing looking piece! and i understand the cost, but damn. thats pricey!

chris@GMS · November 13th, 2009, 12:08 PM

Thanks guys and i will keep everyone updated, just as a question? what would everyone be willing to pay for a set, a give me a honest reasonable answer, not like 100.00

AzSonicSnake · November 13th, 2009, 12:10 PM

honestly, if it was 900 for the pair, i would think that would be alot better. but, as i said, i know that there is alot of material costs and labor cost to make them.

wraitherx · November 13th, 2009, 12:53 PM

yeah, per pair with the coil covers is better but anywhere between 600-900 would be the ball park range

chris@GMS · November 13th, 2009, 03:46 PM

Thanks for the input. Everyone enjoy there weekend.

CammedMysticCobra · November 20th, 2009, 12:42 AM

Those are fucking sick but 900 a peice I mean I could almost buy everything Iam missing for my 900HP setup.

chris@GMS · November 24th, 2009, 02:00 PM

Yeah i here ya, they are not for everyone, they are a sick piece, and they are lighter but are they light enough for the price tag, it all depends on how you are about weight, i have seen guys spend 3000.00 on carbon fiber doors that only saved them 8lbs, so to each his own. but i just wanted to share with everyone the pics of them, i hope everyone has a great thanksgiving.

wraitherx · November 24th, 2009, 02:48 PM

hope you have a good one as well.

im all about weight reduction but my pockets arent deep enough for 1800 in valve covers. they do look absolutely sick though
