Ever since I put those Holley valve covers on - I have been having problems with losing oil/a huge cloud of smoke billowing out of the car on cold start up.

I did some research and the Holley covers like to suck oil through the drivers side valve cover right into the blower.

I am sure on a N/A setup - they would work great, but after loosing a quart of oil in a weekend - I had enough.

I ripped them off and ordered a set of LS9 valve covers.

These are built for boost - and give off the same look of no coil pack brackets.

For now I put the stock covers back on - and have not had an issue. No oil consumption, no huge clouds of white smoke on startup, etc.

I got the covers a few days ago - and have painted them black like the Holley covers.

I'll put them on the car after they cure for a couple days.

I also ordered a catch can - and will install that along with the covers.

This should resolve my oil consumption issues - and give me the look that I am after.

At the end of the month I will be towing the car up to VA for the Wannagofast 1/2 mile event up there - my shirt just came in today.
