Need new Valves and Valve Guides?
I have a LS turbo boosting 20 psi. I have K541M81 Wiseco Pistons (8.3 CR). I will have Crower turbo cams and Crower valve springs and retainers.
I was wondering if I should replace the stock valves or if they would handle it fine? If new ones, which would be the best for 300-350 HP?

I agree with what the others Said. No reason to change your valves or guides when building an engine unless they are damaged/worn. Have a machine shop check them and replace if needed.
