Well, I was quite surprised that  the preliminary tests show that with the
clip on valve covers and Monza Single tip actually add 10 HP!
I have ran 27 Dyno runs and each one shows that removing them and the HP
drops by 10 adding them back increases by 10...

Just kidding...

The clip on valve covers give the LARGER THAN STOCK ratio rockers and BIGGER
LIFT on the cam ROOM to operate without hitting the stock valve cover.
Plus the fins on the cover help to remove engine heat.
And you can tap the covers and route a breather hose to relieve the pressure
in the valve cover area and route it into the stock breathing system.
The Monza tip simply changes the tone of the exhaust and quietness it a
small bit.
The insides on my tip had been damaged by the Jiffy tech cramming a probe
inside.  I took the insides out and now it is a bit louder.

ignorance to attack.
