Default Valvetrain

Hey I'm running a gsr motor, and am upgrading the valvetrain to all supertech, and was going to get 1mm oversized valves. Anything I have to do to the head before I can put these in, such as port it? Or do they just go right in? What's the pros and cons of oversized valves on a boosted car???

You'll have to get the valve seats bored to accept the larger valves I believe. And just so you know, most places charge like $100 per valve. Have fun with that...

What is the benefit of having larger valves though, just stronger, more durable???
