Is there any difference between the LSA valley cover and the LS3 valley cover that comes with the DOD delete kits? If there is a difference, is it better to have the LSA valley cover for the LSA swap?

I used the ls3 on my swap no issues, you'll be fine with it. As far as difference I have no ideaIs there any difference between the LSA valley cover and the LS3 valley cover that comes with the DOD delete kits? If there is a difference, is it better to have the LSA valley cover for the LSA swap?
