oh lol.
So can you or anyone answer the valve cover thing. I dont see why it being EFI would make it need special valve covers but i wanna know before i go off buying a bunch of crap.

You need truck specific valve covers because the oil fill tube is on the drivers side and there is a port in the back of the passenger cover for the PCV valve. The car valve covers have the oil fill on the passenger side front which won't work on a truck because the upper intake is in the way, and there is no PCV port in either cover.

So as long as its for a truck it will work is what your saying?

Here is a picture of the I6/460 tube.
This one is for 92-96. The one for 87-91 looks a bit different. I think either will work.
Don't waste you money on a throttle body spacer. It will do absolutely nothing for and EFI motor. It really only works on carberators and throttle body injection setups.

I got mine one Ebay. You may have to go to a salvage yard. You could also try craigslist. I don't think they are available new any more. They used to be about 20 bucks at the dealer. You could try that.

No offense, but that setup is going to do nothing for performance. It is just going to suck in hot underhood air. They will probably let in more dirt as well. The factory setup is better.
