SOHC valve cover

i just saw a grey "mugen" sohc valve cover made by Tenzo-R. i want one cuz it says mugen on it and you guys know i like replica rice S**T. i heard a rumor thatit helps make more power due to releasing of heat. but i mean c'mon its probably worse than stock. is it true that it helps or was he just pullin my chain? also is it worse to put it on or will it have no effect, like its just for show?

a valve cover is just a cover .... remember there are 3 parts to making power 1) air flow 2) spark intensity 3) fuel pressure

does changing the valve cover affect any one of those? nope.

Wraping your headers with wrap, helps keep the heat from the exaust in your hearders. Keeping the engine bay a few degrees cooler. Remember heat robs power, that's why everyone's car is so peppy now, because it's cool outside. Spoon rad cap's create more preassure, that's why alot of people don't like to use them because they'll alway's blow any bad hose.
