hi,
Why dont you just put some chromies on there? To your average person any chrome engine part adds 50 horsepower [at least] LOL.

good luck with that

I'm also a fan of the aluminum ones, gonna be going with those on the motor I'm building right now for my IROC. Chrome is too flashy and the black crinkle seems like a waste of $$ (cool look, but a can of $5 black engine paint to the stock covers will give you the same look). I think ProForm makes the aluminum ones, prolly many other manufacturers as well...
