Hi stealwings,
the seat-of-the-pants improvement is that the engine is stronger and more responsive above 2500rpm. It's a noticeable gain and wakes up the V6. Of course, I have done a lot of other mods that all contribute to the overall result, so it's difficult to say how they all interrelate.
I didn't notice any rough idle at all... Will check again while driving later today.

Thanks Andy. I think you've convinced me to get it done. Glad to hear there wasn't any rough idle problems. I don't think your Performance Mods are all that far off from mine so this should be a good improvement.

Wouldn't want any other!

Just an update on the valve covers: Have driven about 1000 miles: no oil consumption noticeable. Those holes that Sam cut to make room for the higher lift are working well...

The initial covers are V8 (don't throw rocks at the messenger). Not sure if there's going to be a big rush to get them as they are very expensive-- very unique and functional, but pricey. Hopefully that'll come down, and then the V6 covers can be made. Again, they're gonna be expensive-- it's just a time consuming, expensive process to make them. In the $4xx.00 range.

Again, both a show piece and a easy access.

As an alternative, I am cutting/welding in new baffles on v6 covers now-- (andy's will be a one of)-- and powdercoating the sets. I have 4 sets in coating now.

I'll have pictures of the purple one's when I get them.
