Any recommendations on valve covers that will clear 1.6 roller rockers and polylocks?

UPDATE: I got this running and had an issue with my tall TBI style valve covers I got from KMJ on ebay. They look factory but the holes are all wrong for the Vortec PCV system. Also they fit and clear great until you bolt them down. With a little gasket squish they hit the trunions and I had to trim the bracing... found this out after initial start-up and it sounded horrible. Had a rocker arm come off because of the contact and I thought it was all over. Fixed that and distributor timing then it ran a TON better. Seems to run really strong even with the stock tune but now I am questioning my Vehicle purchase. Alternator is dead, starter works intermittently, distributor cap tabs are stripped out, and has terrible driveshaft vibration (i even washed all the mud out of the wheels).
Shorty headers with dual glasspacks and a cam sound good enough I want to fix all the issues and give this thing a good rip. Does Blackbear do good tuning with aftermarket cams? or would I be better off on my own with EFI Live (I already have it just don't want to license the PCM if I am going to 0411 it later)

Tune it yourself. Not much to it that I couldn't walk you through.
Is it a waste to tune the black box? Not sure how long im gonna keep this tahoe. I did the 0411 on my 454 but I plan on keeping that in the fleet.
I need to look into some shorter pushrods and the short polylocks. I would like to see the stock valve covers back on this motor.I have the Comp Pro Magnum roller rockers with shorter Crower poly locks and stock valve covers. I had to trim the supports in the valve cover due to rocker width, but managed. Left support is trimmed, right is stock.
Why? Are the pushrods you have so long that you don't get proper sweep at the valve tip?I need to look into some shorter pushrods
