Default Valve Guides: Ferrea or Portflow?

Well, i'm in need of some new valve guides. Which one should I go for? I want something that's good quality which can stand up to a beating on a highly boosted B18C head. I'm currently using Ferrea Titanium valves with Crower valve springs & retainers. Please help. Thanks

I strongly recommened Ferrea for all your valvetrain and head components. I run complete Ferrea valvetrain and bounced off my rev limeter twice simotaniously in fifth gear while boosting 11psi, and everything still held up!
Ferrea It's worth the $$$$

I'm someone who always seems to go for the more expensive product.. and i've checked prices on both products. The Ferrea valve guides go for $3.35 a piece, and the Port Flow valve guides go for $5 a piece... Any particular reason why the port flow ones would be more expensive?

I can't tell if portflow are good or bad , but you can't go wrong with Ferrea.

Are you sure? I remember going on Portflows site a while back and seeing them carry there own line of valvetrain, and also Ferrea which was like a step up.

If Ferrea is a step up from Portflow then it pretty much sums it up
We have been using Ferrea valve since the begining and never ever had any bad things happen
