Default Valve job....more information needed please...

OK so I am building up my b16a for a new turbo setup and I picked up an extra b16a head for dirt cheap today and I was wondering a few things. I already bought Rev Springs, Rev Retainers, Ferrera Valves, GSR Cams, and GSR Cam Gears. Should I go with a 3 or 5 degree angle job. Only problem is that I am not sure what changing the angle really does or how it benefits me in any way? What is the angle set at stock? If you are needing a quick low down on what I am shooting for it is 450whp and reving anywhere from 9000-9800 depending on where the turbo stops making power.....Any help would be appreciated.

putting an angle on the valve and the valve seat (if done properly) generally should allow a flush and tight seal. Tighter seals keep your compression levels where they are supposed to be especially with a forced induction car with all that extra pressure. I personally went with a 5angle job with my setup. Hope this helps a little bit

the different angles promote better flow around the valve by making a more rounded exit.
