That's pretty slick, but I guess I'm not too wild about that direction for whatever reason? I know there's also a company that makes a billet VC that has a compartment built into it for the coils.

I've seen them and they don't have the right look IMO - too short, too machined and too smooth. I like the canted style used by Katech and GMPP. I don't know what the heat would do to their operation. I have hear/read some threads that say using longer coil wires and relocating the coil decreases the performance. Not sure how much or if it's detrimental.

(I also like the Katech VC and coil standoff - Penny and OLC both look purposeful)

Sorry for the hijack Gonzo !

I like the Katech valve covers myself. They are real clean looking.
But still not much of a fan of the wires coming over the valve cover.

Here is the article about the truck coils being much more powerful than regular coils incase anyone wanted to read up on it.
