nice set up, it almost looks like mine. I am looking into picking up some of the ford racing valve covers, I have trick flow black ones now and I dont like them. Are those the tall ones. If so did you have any trouble fitting them?

also by the looks of it, It looks like you have a BBK throttle body, do you get a loud whislte sound when its idaling? they are known for it and mine does it. it did it right out of the box...
