Each member of the MTI staff contributes with backgrounds in engineering, fabrication, professional racing, and expert troubleshooting. Led by former World Challenge racer Reese Cox, MTI Racing has grown rapidly by leveraging his advancing race technology. Reese's involvement in the Corvette Challenge Series paved the way to becoming team manager for Tommy Morrison Racing, preparing the team's ZR-1 Corvettes for the 24 HRS Of Daytona. While acting as crew chief and engineer in the IMSA Invitational GT Series, Reese and crew clinched a SCCA GT-1 National Championship with GM engineer/pro driver John Heinricy. Reese's attention to detail soon opened doors to work with a number of notable pro road racing teams and pro drivers such as Johnny Rutherford, Tommy Kendall, Andy Pilgrim, and Boris Said.

Valve Covers and Plenum Covers
Are all valve covers the same?
Yes and no. Yes, they all perform the basic function of keeping oil and air sealed inside, and keeping dirt and other elements outside. However, Accesspeed has found that the difference really comes down to whether you need a taller cover, and the material used. Steel stamped valve covers are often the least expensive, but the flanges are often distorted due to people over-tightening the fasteners, which can cause a leak. Aluminum valve covers are better simply because they have thicker flanges that will not distort under the same level of overtightening. Additionally, aluminum will dissipate heat quicker than steel. For the ultimate in valve covers, carbon fiber is the ticket. The weight savings alone is significant, especially if you need taller valve covers with baffles.
What is a plenum cover?
Plenum covers are engine cover pieces that cover the intake plenum on the top of your engine. Accesspeed offers a variety of metal and composite plenum covers, as well as complete engine cover kits, in carbon fiber, aluminum, and high-temp ABS.
