It is true that most aftermarket valves out of the box flow a little less than the oem valve but that doesn't mean you can't cut a valve to flow equal or better. In very high HP applications the OEM valve isn't gonna cut it.

Hey 4 Piston! What are the pros and cons of that gold rippled template used for your port and polish ?

Agreed, My reply was directed to vtecmasta85 and i doubt that with a statement like "It's not very hard to do" he is gonna go all the way to cutting valves.

So this how-to, isn't really a how-to?
More of a discussion about what a how-to should be?

Supertech does. Its not the stem that gives you benefits, its the 30 degree seat angle.

I'm using supertech with a 30 degree face and I can tell that backcut actually does something. I dont have flow numbers, but I'm goin to continue to use ST valves. Skunk 2 valves are also ok to use.

Since this debate is going from decent conversation to mud-throwing... its time for it to end.
