Gotta have priorities Rick.....if you're going to be turning 7500 and shifting at possibly 8000, I couldn't care less about how pretty the valve covers are.

Most of the shaft mounted stuff will fit under the valve covers that a roller rocker fits under anyway. Even if you had to stack gaskets or run spacers, I would.

I wouldn't even feel comfortable with a stud girdle at 8000 rpm.
