Should i do stainless avlves for my turbo setup?

looking to make 500 HP at max on race gas.
Most likely only around 400-440 on pump...

 

You should get them. Its real easy to burn a valve making big hp....stainless with help prevent that.

 

What about milder setups like 250whp on a B18B 10:1 at around 8 PSI? Was thinking of getting Ferrea SS valves put in when I build my bottom end in a couple of weeks... Thanks

 

If your gonna build your bottom end, ill assume your wanting more then 250hp and more then 8 pounds. If so....they are always a good idea along with stiffer springs and retainers.

 

Compared to Ferrea, how is the quality of Si, Manley, Skunk2...?

Just checking my options, since I'll be buying shortly

 

if money is a concern get only exhaust side valves, but have all cut atleast 3 angle.
The stock intake are very good and ame weight so no real difference. If you are going oversize then gorget all of this.

 

Money isn't a major concern. I just didn't want to spend x amount of dollars on brand Y and then find out brand Z is of equal quality, but costs less. Make cents

edit: Oh and I'm staying with the stock size. At the moment the head has ITR intake valves, so I may or may not replace them since they are fairly new. (Probably will end up doing the intake side in the long run.)
