Re: Poly 318 valve covers?

[Bill <Y1TopBanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm a big fan of make it look stock, but doesn't have to run that way. I
certainly don't mind the aftermarket dress-up parts you'll probably never
see anything but a chrome air cleaner on any of my cars...just my taste.

And as far as parts "must satisfy the HP & Torque
goals.requirements...before adding glitz" and I agree 100%. Valve covers,
braided hoses, etc. don't make it go faster which is why I won't buy them,
besides personal taste. I'm not saying dress-up stuff doesn't look good if
done right, but most aftermarket stuff like that is just not for me. I'd
much rather spend my precious few dollars on something that will make it
faster. Just my $0.02
