I use Champions ,they clear Harland Sharp Roller Rockers with AC box.

With the heat shield in place you're not going to be able to go too much taller than stock. A healthy bevel on the corner would be a help too.

Oops, probably should of mentioned, I have the air box but I removed my heat shield. Do you know the approximate height of the champion ones or the tallest i can fit? I checked on champions website and didnt see apecs on the meaurments of the valve covers

It's not the height that is a problem, mine are actually shorter than a set of Champion valve covers.. Champion valve covers have a notch in the corners to clear the a/c box. There is no clean way to do that with sheetmetal valve covers. And If I did try it, I have no way to confirm fitment before shipping them out.
