I installed a set of ford racing VCs. I also have Trick flow 1.6 RR.

Should I take them off and remove the baffles? For more clearance of should it be Ok.

Thanks in advance it seems like I take two steps foward and one back with this car.

Id like to know this to, I have 1.7 RR and some Ford Valve Covers going on soon (tall Ford Racing ones). Just curious if there is any need to remove the baffles or to keep them? Im not worried about clearance.

Why take them off if they clear? They come very handy if you decide to run an evac system.

i'd leave them on if you don't have to worry about clearance.

Redline, are you running an intake spacer or fox conversion? if not you'll probably run into clearance issues with the covers and the intake.
