Worth getting oversized valves
im starting to put together all the parts for my turbo setup and im wandering if its worth it to get oversized valves its going to be a ported head with a completely new valvetrain. not to worried about cost just wandering if there is any pro/cons to this.
for a gsr head if that makes a difference

That goes w/o saying that the seats are reshaped for the larger valves. Slap larger valves w/o changing anything else, and you get no benifit.

Re: Worth getting oversized valves (crawlin)
In general oversize valves will be "worth it".But it is usually a preference of the porter.If your looking to make 300hp than it really doesn't matter.If you goals are in the 600hp+ than it makes a real difference.But like I said before it's really a question for your head porter.
