The Need For Valves
Cost and best spot to buy Ferrea SS valves ? They have a "COMBO KIT" I would like to have that...I have a fully built LS block although it's not been sleeved...
With JE pistons and Eagle rods with a Victor X intake manifold B16A head ARP studs, Cometic head gasket Rev-Hard T3-T4 fully upgraded turbo...yes the big boy ! And I want to make sure the head is safe and solid...I have a crap load of mods to many to list here my concern is the head after every other spot has been beefed up......Suggestions ? Opinions ? Ideas ? Welcome...
Thanks.

so you think stock intake valves are fine on a high hp turbo motor. I'd think to go SS for intake and exhaust, just oversize the exhaust ones.

Actually... if you need to skimp, you can just go SS on the exaust, since those valves see the higher temps.
The reason I said 1 over on the exhaust is because you are turbo... contributes to a quicker spool. Oversizing the intakes could have a negative effect at low rpm... just like doing a 5 angle valve job on a street car can be un-appealing.

My b16 has with ferrea valve train .5mm over size valves. The package was about $950. If you are want serious power this is something you need to look into.

Re: The Need For Valves (Ltech)
Bigger intake valves more air = more power.
But they.. if you have the flow for both, save the guess work and fork it over for a portflow treatment !
