stupid question/slp rocker arm pkg??

[hotwhip9]

I was wondering two things..

1. when the hood is popped on a vette, it says vette.. what are those covers called, there are two on each side as you stand in front of the car looking at the engine compartment. always wondered what they were called and possibly where could i get those.

2. Has anyone had any experience with the SLP Rocker Arm Package? Considering getting it, how much do you think some one would charge for labor? It says 6 hours from slp, but a magazine i read said it took a little over 2 hours and they dynoed and gained 20 rwhp. Its right around the 800 mark for the full kit, and is there anything else i should get instead of it, thats a noticable gain for the money, i think i could be wrong.

I think Afterthoughts Auto has the Corvette Fuel Rail Covers...

fuel rail covers, oh yah!!! thanks! Has anyone looked in the package differences with the rocker arms,

1 has just the rockers
another has, rockers, springs and keepers
another has rockers, springs, keepers, titanium retainers

now if since my motor was just rebuilt, has 600 miles on it, i could just get the first kit, right?? and save almost $400. right??? please help because i really don't know!

It depends on what springs you have already. You should find out what spring pressure is required for the setup because you must run enough spring pressure to be compatible with the rockers. They include the titanium retainers for added strength due to increased spring pressure and reduced weight. The valve train will rev more free with the titanium retainers.

This is probably a good mod. I have crane gold rollers with titanium retainers and LT4 springs on my heads and the car revs nice. I personally wouldnt spend 800 bucks on it as one of my first mods, but I dont know what you have done. Have you done a computer reprogramming? Headers? Gears? Nitrous? There are a bunch of good "seat of the pants feel" mods out there.
