They are perimeter bolt valve covers, I used the trickflow relocation bracket, but I have to grind them to clear the roller rocker (crower enduros)

Are those Accel injectors? If so, I would ditch those before ruining a good engine..

That's odd...My stock bottom end/ported head/CC305 car went 12.0 @ 112 MPH with 30# Accels.

Re: Updated LT1 setup picss!!

There's been posts upon posts of people having accel's crap out on them. I believe the last guy had major damage resulting from it (I'm wanting to say hydrolock)

Re: Updated LT1 setup picss!!

Yeah, I went 11.9 at 116 with mine also..that dont mean anything..They will stick open on you unexpectingly. I had one stick WIDE open dumping straight fuel all the time..nearly hydroed my motor but luckily I wasnt far from home and was able to diagnos the problem quickly.
My car was always hard to start with those accel's too...Once I put in my 42lb lucas's my car starts awesome now and runs alot better..
Just stating my personal experience...dont come whining to me when your $$ motor gets messed up due to going cheap w/ injectors...

Re: Updated LT1 setup picss!!

Thnks for clarifying Loadre...Just trying to help out and they don't want to listen..why don't you do a "search" on Accel inj. and tell me what you find good about them.

Re: Updated LT1 setup picss!!

I had accels in my car for the longest time and never had a problem with them, for my new set up I went F.A.S.T. 65 lb hours tho sence I need a lot bigger injector, for those of you that asked about his delete plate, I did the same thing heres some pics.I also made up a panel for where my heater controls were and turned it into a switch panel for my water pump, line lock, trans brake, electric fans, fuel pump.
