What valve covers do the Trick Flow heads use?
I'm getting the TF Twisted Wedge G2 heads, and I was wondering what valve covers to get. I know I want the ProForm black with red 'Chevrolet' on them, but are they centerbolt or no? With roller rockers, should I get the tall or short?

Get talls, down the road you may decide you want bigger rockers. No point in buying valve covers twice, right?
I dont know if those are centerbolt valve covers or not, sorry.

Ok, they are perimeter style. I ordered the Proform tall ones that are black with red text... I think it will look great!
Thanks again for the help.

uh..I tried to put edelbrock "tall" valve covers on my TF 23* heads and they hit the firewall on the drivers side and the heater box on the pass side just an a little tidbit of important info.

Lol... Maybe I am not special!!! Hahaha...
The only issue I have had with them is trying to work them around the heater box and over the rockers w/o getting RTV on the rockers and everywhere else...
Maybe I just got lucky...
