Those valve covers you are going to love. I've got the centerbolt style.
On the starter I'm with Ryan. I'm running 10:1 compression on mine and with a lifetime starter as well. No problems at all (knock on wood).

Don't forget to order a new timing pointer to go with the new timing cover.
Why not get a mini-hi-tork starter? They are smaller and not prone to heat soak from your headers.

Not to pick and complain but I would have gotten a Stewart water pump. Stage 1 at least if not stage 2.

the only thing that i would change would be chrome rather than polished aluminum--that sh!t is tough to maintain.
